A member asked:
Will usage of an inhaler containing steroids for asthma for 4 months, cause any side effect for a child?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: The most common side effect of inhaled steroids, especially over such a short period of time, would be oral thrush. Make sure your child rinses his mouth after using the inhaler to prevent this.
