My son who is 4 year and 1 months old (weight - 13.5 kg). Hes been treated for running nose, cough, chest congestion off and on a couple of times. Wheezing is detected too on some occasions. Most of the time it results in fever.  when he was 2 years old, suffering from bronchiolitis and admitted to hospital. After a week of treatment and nebulaizing he came to home. Then doctor says this frequent episode of runny nose, chest congestion and coughing accompanied with a small amount of wheezing means allergy to something in the environment. So we did allergy test and found that he has high allergy on dust, milk, milk product, brinjal, banana etc. We immediately stop those food item. Then doctor prescribed budecort-100 two puffs twice a day and delpomont syrup 5 ml at evening. And cough time salbair 3 puffs four times a day. Now it's almost 1 year 3 month, he is continuing this budecort and delpomont. I can say things are any better with this inhaler. Salbair inhaler is given whenever there is coughing and some amount of wheezing.  but now my doctor is asking to give also levolin 0.68 mg nebulizer for 3 times a day when this episode starts with budecort, delpomont and salbair.  is it safe for a 4 year old child? We are using budecort 100 and delpomont syrup for last 1.5 years. Is it good for my child? Can there be some side effects on such a small child?
