My baby is 11 months old and she was having cold and fever 1 month back , then it was given antibiotics and she got well in 7 days. Now again she is suffering from acute congestion and cough for past two days and doctor has advised us to go for asthalin and budecort inhaler with Spacer.Is it safe to use this at this age and i mean she should not be getting addicted to this inhalers .I am concerned about this , please suggest
Hi, As mentioned by you baby had acute congestion (i.e. bronchospasm) which is an emergency condition which must be treated on urgent basis and def requires bronco dilator with steroids. Through inhaler these Chat Doctor.  As baby cannot co-ordinate with inhaler so spaced is prescribed. Once your baby is fine doc may taper it n stop.  So have faith in your pediatrician and continue treatment. Thanks n regards
