Hi...I don't think the rash is related to Budecort inhaler. Asthalin should not be given 3 times a day. It should be given 2 puffs every 4-6th hourly that too only if there is wheeze or cough disturbing sleep.

I think the rashes could be recurrent or chronic allergy. By what you quote it seems rather like a skin allergy which is unlikely to be food allergy or drug allergy. I have some questions and some suggestions for you.

Questions:
1. Is there any family history of similar allergies or skin rash?
2. Is this rash associated with severe pain in the stomach?
3. Is it associated with blood in the stools or black coloured motion?
4. Is there any blood in the urine?
5. Has his blood pressure been monitored in these 5 months and is it normal?
6. Are there any bed bugs in her cot or in his school seating arrangements - kindly enquire.
7. Does his hands and feet and face swell during attack of allergy or does he have any noisy breathing during high severity?

I wish your kid a speedy recovery. If you need any future medical consultation and suggestions, I will be glad to help. You can approach me at the following link. Please find the link below.
