Hello,
* There are different schools of thoughts for the management of pediatric
bronchial asthma and allergic
bronchitis disorders.
As a general rule of thumb,
Budecort is advisable on as and when required basis when there is severe bronchi spasm, no relief with conventional syrup or tablet formulations.
It is not routine to give
steroid pumps for a period of 3 months if the symptoms are well controlled after initial use of 3-5 working days. Rather than, try to boost his immunity with
- balanced nutritious diet
- deep breathing exercises, YOGA
- meditations
- avoidance of exposure to
cold, pollen
- use of face mask wisely during public appearance
Later on , there are all chances of steroid dependendance in this issue.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
