Acute Cough

2026-02-19 11:42:05
Whenever my son consumed sweets and subsequently drank water, he experienced coughing (typically follicular tonsillitis). Afterward, no cough medicine proves effective; the only remedy available to me is gargling with lukewarm water. Am I able to use nebulization with Budecort 0.5 mg respule? This was prescribed by a pediatrician two years ago. He is 8 years old.

Budecort is used for asthma if child has wheezing problems. Its not useful for tonsillitis or upper respiratory tract infection. Now it looks viral. No need of budecort.
Next Steps
Follicular tonsillitis needs examination n antibiotics to be planned after examination
