This is not an uncommon use of this med for such problems. There is controversy over its effectiveness, but many believe it helps.

Montelukast is often effective in reducing cough due to inflammation. Both Budesonide and Montelukast are anti-inflammatory agents. Watch for signs of shortness of breath, cough and wheezing.
