My 3.5 yrs daughtr cough & wheezing
My 3.5 yrs daughter is having cough and wheezing for the last 2 weeks..She had a similar episode a couple of months back as well. Doctor has prescribed her Duolin and budecort for a week..Though she is better now, little cough is still there and seems there is still some blockage in the airway...The doctor has now prescribed her Duolin (3 times*5 days)+ omnacortil forte (2.5 ml *2 times * 5days) + L montair(1 month)..He suspects this to be HARD(Hyper Acute Respiratory Disorder). My worry is if omnacortil(being a steroid) is safe for kids? Is it really needed? Wont this be having side effects of on my daughter? What if I don't give this medicine? Can somebody please help out?
