Cough and nebulization

2023-08-07 12:09:49
My pediatrician has suggested nebulization with asthalin/duolin and budecort for cough for a week...my 2.4 year old cough has been since 3 weeks and has not gone completely..it is a deep cough, sounds is I felt with hands as well... budecort has been prescribed for a month along with montair LS. Now am skeptical to give it for a month..his cough is not too much but not going completely too...he has become very cranky and daily meltdown...will cough reduce itself...can i stop giving respules...or am I just worrying too much..and continue with this medication...some say steroids are best avoided..please suggest what is the best method to follow ...

Good to stop nebulization for some days and see if the cough starts. If the cough starts again it may be asthma and need nebulization whenever the cough starts
