Can A Child Take Romilast For Long Term?

Hi, I have a 3 yr 8 mth old boy. Since birth he has had wheezing episodes and would have fever for a few days every 4 to 5 weeks . He was diagnosed with bronchial asthma. He used to be on a dose of asthalin and budecort whenever the symptoms developed . Recently he has started on a dose of ROMILAST 4mg every night. Remarkably his wheezing has stopped and overall health improved as he doesnt fall sick too often. Is it OK to continue this on a long term basis? Any side effects?
