What else can be done to help him?Rgds Natasha Email I'd  YYYY@YYYY [/INST] HiWelcome to the HCMIt seems to me that your child has a significant pulmonary wheeze for which he is prescribed a foracort 200 inhaler.  Foracort has 2 drugs I.e. Budesonide and Formeterol.  The combination is very good for children with pulmonary wheeze. It reduces the ongoing inflammation and hypersensitivity of airways and helps in healing. There are a few things you should follow  to have best results:1. Use a zerostat or spacer for delivery of MDI inhaler.2. Always make your child rince his mouth well after using it.3. If you are using more than 4 puffs per day, then go for bone density scan, complete blood count, serum calcium, phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase determination.For further questions about this, do contact me. </s>
