Can Telekast And Budecort Inhaler Cause Any Side Effects In Kids?

My son is 3 years old and is quite healthy and active .His weight is 17.5 kgs. For the last 10 days he is suffering from coughing and a hissing sound while coughing. He has been prescribed Telekast syrup and Budecort inhaler as well as levolin inhaler twice a day. I havee been told that these inhalers are usually prescribed for Asthma and contain steroids. Is it advisable to give this to children of 3 years or there is an alternative. Will there be side effects. Kindly advise.
