This medicine can be used to treat cough, but it is only used occasionally in clinical practice for allergic coughs, and it is used temporarily when other medications do not work. Why? Because budesonide is a hormone. Although the effect of inhaled hormones on the body is very small and much less harmful than oral hormones and intravenous hormones, it is after all a hormone and will still accumulate in the body if applied for a long time. There are many coughs that can be cured if the right treatment is found, and there are even many topical methods to help cure coughs, so it is not necessary to use hormones. If other drugs don’t work and it is clear that the cough is caused by allergies, it is not completely impossible to use hormones occasionally to control the symptoms, but the amount and duration of use must be controlled in order to apply them safely.
