Cough,cold,runny Nose,fever,allergic
My 3 and half yr old niece has been suffering from recurrent attacks of cough and cold , running nose ultimately leading to fever. Antibiotics though momentarily gives relief but on completion of the dose she again gets an attack within 2-3 days! So doctors said it is all because of allergy and that she needs to use asthalin and budecort puffs. As such I would like to know if it is safe for her to use all these? Are there any side effects?

Inhalers are generally safe as the dose administered is very small. Doctors may have different opinions on the type of medication used depending on their experience. If there are any aggravating factors try to avoid those. I hope she is not anemic and does not have eosinophilia. Usually the attacks subside after some time.
