My daughter has a slight asthma problem and she gets a lot of coughing because of allergies. She's been told to use a nebuliser 4 times a day with 0.5ml asthalin and 0.5ml budecort mixed with 3ml NS. Also, she's on Monticope 2.5ml twice a day for 3 months. I'm wondering how long it'll take for her cough to go away with these medicines? I'm just really worried and looking for some guidance.
