Hello,

Thank you for asking at HCM.

I went through your history and would like to make suggestions for your brother's son as follows:

1. It is important to mention here that characteristics of adult asthma and childhood asthma are often different. So it is very important to get him examined by a pediatrician/pediatric asthma specialist doctor who can decide whether he has asthma and whether he needs regular treatment with inhaled corticosteroids (Budesonide, i.e., Budecort).

2. Although usually 9 years old children can use rotacaps effectively, some children may be more comfortable with metered dose inhaler. It is important to prescribe appropriate type of inhaler device for a child.

3. So, of course, budesonide is a part of treatment of asthma in children, I would not suggest you to use it without prescription of a doctor. Please remember that it is a corticosteroid and not devoid of side effects.

Hope above suggestions will be helpful to your brother's son.

Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at HCM.

Wish him the best of the health ahead.

Thank you & Regards.
