What should I do if my 7-year-old son is still coughing constantly and has a stuffy nose, even after starting his prescribed Zerotuss syrup, Levolin, and Budecort puffs today?
Since he just started his Zerotuss, Levolin (levosalbutamol), and Budecort (budesonide) today, it may take 24 to 48 hours to see a noticeable improvement, especially with the Budecort puffs. Ensure he is using the inhalers with a spacer for the best effect. For his stuffy nose, saline nasal drops can provide quick, safe relief. Keep him hydrated with warm fluids. If you notice any breathing difficulty, wheezing, or if his cough worsens, please contact his pediatrician immediately.
