hi my 11 year old is suffering from asthema and a constant allergic cough which has been diagnosed as sysptom of respiratory obstruction. he was on a regime of Levolin and budecort. but now the doctor has put him on Foracort. it dosent seem to be helping much. should I switch back
Hi I have read your question and understand your concerns. Thank you for posting in Chat Doctor. Levolin contains albuterol that is short-acting bronchodilator but has rapid mechanism of action, while Decor contains budesonide that is a steroid. Your doctor has put him on Forecourt that contains Budesonide and Forometrol (that is a long acting bronchodilator). So instead of using two inhalers, a patient can use single one that comes in combination. If Forecourt doesn't help much you can use Leveling and Decor. I suggest my patients Tablet Montelukast (chewable) 5\u00a0mg at nighttime as well. Wish your kid good health.
