Why is my 5-year-old son's cough still not improving after three weeks, even though his chest X-ray is normal and we are using his usual asthma medications like Budecort, Salbair, and Duolin?
Since his cough hasn?t improved with his usual Budecort (budesonide), Salbair (salbutamol), and Duolin (levosalbutamol/ipratropium), it could be due to a lingering post-viral cough, environmental allergies, or even dry air. Sometimes, the medication delivery technique needs a quick check to ensure the medicine reaches his lungs effectively. I gently recommend consulting his pediatrician. They can review his inhaler technique with a spacer and determine if a temporary treatment adjustment is needed to help him find comfort.
