Patient's question:
The baby has started coughing, but it's not very serious. Now the coughing is worse. The hospital conducted a thorough examination and prescribed (atomization treatment). This is a hormone, will it affect the baby?Doctor's answer:
Cough is a common symptom in children, and parents need to pay attention. A child's cough can easily develop into pneumonia, so special attention is required. Cough in children is usually caused by upper respiratory tract infections, and the treatment primarily involves anti-inflammatory and lung-cleansing, blood-cooling medications. Budesonide has good efficacy in relieving cough and wheezing. When a baby coughs, using budesonide for nebulization treatment can quickly alleviate local inflammation, surpassing the lung-cleansing effect. When used in combination with blood-cooling medications, short-term use will never have adverse effects on the child.
