Every doctor has his own recipes according to his experience. You have not given details of your daughters condition and treatment given since then.I am sure if your doctor has prescribe steroids inhaler he has his own reason to do that. Actually when condition arrives steroids too go a drug to avoid if used in proper dose and tapered properly. Local use is even safer to use.Please write back to us with details of her illness and previous medications.So that we can advice you more appropriately if to continue steroids are not. Fever and cough for such along time is not a good sign, give details of investigations as well.
