If indicated: In medicine, one needs to balance the risk/benefit ratio in treating any illness. The side effects of budesonide depend on the dose and the duration but usually not significant in most cases. If your kid has persistent asthma , then it is certainly indicated since the benefit greatly exceeds the potential risks.
