Suggest Treatment For Cough And Wheezing In A Child

My daughter is five years old. And suffers from cough n wheezing. I nebulusr her livolin n budecort. But some days , within an hour of administering budecort, she starts coughing n gets breathless. In that case what should I do? How many times a day should I nebulise her? I stop nebulising her as soon as she gets all right. Is it ok? Or do I need to administer budecort for a fixed number of days?
