A member asked:
Are pulmicort nebs contra-indicated in asthmatic children with possible covid19 infection and exacerbation of asthma?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: If anything it would be wise to maintain any and all routine therapies to keep the asthma stable. Pulmacort may actually interfere with any irritation/tissue reaction the virus might trigger.

No: Agree with Dr. Ferguson, Budesonide has been shown to be effective in the treatment of a number of COVID 19 patients. If is best to keep the children's lungs as healthy as possible so that they are less likely to develop severe COVID 19 complications.
