Accepted Answer

Hi, my baby is having cold and cough from last 2 weeks. we have visited the doctor and has prescribed  asocril d+, otrivin nasal drops and budecort 0.5mg Repsules for nebulization. the cough has not reduced and comes mostly in the morning between 5 to 6 am while she is sleeping.

I see that budecort 0.5mg is Corticosteroid. Is it safe to use and would it have any long term effect on the baby?

my daughter is 2 years old.

Cold is most of the time because of viral illness and  if the child is having recurrent running nose and nasal congestion  it may be a part of allergic rhinitis also so it needs a proper examination.
steam inhalation will be beneficial in both the cases along with decongestant medicine like alex cold/ hatric 3/ sinarest.
As a part of viral illness there could be associated symptoms like cough and fever whidch needs treatcment accordingly along with a proper hydration needs to be maintained .
