Is budesonide the same as albuterol? Pedi prescribed DS with albuterol today, but told me to use any leftover rx's first he's been on a neb a few times over the last few years, but not in over 8 months. I still have a box of xopenex and budesonide which I think is pulmicort but can't quite tell by the box. For now I'm just using the new rx until I can call the pedi and sort out what is what.

Re: Neb med question
Both of my girls had RSV at about four months. The older one gets regular illnesses, nothing crazy (she is in daycare, so I don't pay attention to anything that isn't fever or vomiting). The 8 mo has a chronic rattle in her chest. Sounds like she needs to clear her throat really well, and it would be fine. Ped. said at 4 months she might have acid reflux, but that she would probably grow out of it around six months. No breathing issues, except for the nasty bout with RSV that ended up in bronchiolitis. My question is: Because of the RSV at such a young age, is there an increased risk in breathing difficulties later on, like asthma?? I hated the albuterol treatments. They turned my sweet baby into a monster who refused to eat or sleep.
