Pulmicort 0.5mg/2ml Respules: A Lifesaver for My Child's Asthma but Worried About Side Effects
So, my son was prescribed Pulmicort 0.5mg/2ml Respules for his asthma. It's been a game-changer, but I've been pretty worried about the potential side effects listed in the leaflet. Has anyone else had experience with this? How did you handle the side effects? I'm particularly concerned about the rare but serious ones. Also, any tips on making the treatment easier for a 5-year-old? He hates the taste. Thanks!

I'm new to all this. My doctor prescribed Pulmicort Respules to my daughter and I'm terrified. What if she has a bad reaction? How did you know if it was just a side effect or something serious?
I feel like the side effects are overblown. My daughter has been on Pulmicort for three years, and she's never had any issues. Just make sure to follow the instructions and you should be fine.
Pulmicort was a miracle for my asthma as a kid. Never had any major side effects, just the occasional cough. Make sure to follow the instructions closely and keep an eye out for any allergic reactions. If you notice anything weird, call the doctor right away.
I've been using Pulmicort for my daughter for over a year now, and it's been amazing for her asthma. We haven't had any serious side effects, just some mild throat irritation. Make sure to rinse his mouth after use to prevent thrush. Also, try mixing the medicine with a bit of juice if he hates the taste. Hope that helps!
