Acute Cough
Whenever my son consumed sweets and subsequently drank water, he experienced coughing (typically follicular tonsillitis). Afterward, no cough medicine proves effective; the only remedy available to me is gargling with lukewarm water. Am I able to use nebulization with Budecort 0.5 mg respule? This was prescribed by a pediatrician two years ago. He is 8 years old.

Budecort is used for asthma if child has wheezing problems. Its not useful for tonsillitis or upper respiratory tract infection. Now it looks viral. No need of budecort.
