Doctor prescribed nebulization with budecort and Levolin twice a day for 15 days.
Now to avoid it recurring doctor asked to do budecort 0.5 nebulization once a day for three weeks.

No,it doesn't.
Having said that,giving budecort once a day is absolutely USELESS,stop it.
By your description,it seems she has asthma,which is recurrent due to allergy to inhaled substances,commonest being dust and smoke,try to avoid.
Long term treatment may need inhaled steroids,but NOT this one.
Plz consult another paediatrician or a chest physician.
