hi
it look like that he has allergic and asthma problem
Budesonide is a glucocorticoid steroid for the treatment of asthma and non-infectious rhinitis (including hay fever and other allergies).
it must be taken according to doctor advise
Budesonide may cause:
* nose irritation or burning
* bleeding or sores in the nose
* lightheadedness
* upset stomach
* cough
* hoarseness
* dry mouth
* rash
* sore throat
* bad taste in mouth
* change in mucus color
* muscle cramps
In addition, the following symptoms should be reported immediately:
* difficulty breathing or swelling of the face
* white patches in the throat, mouth, or nose
* irregular menstrual periods
* severe acne
* on rare occasions, behavioral changes — when these do occur, they seem to mostly affect children.
if he feel any side effect better to consult doctor
as far as i think if he is alright now then better not to take it
