Do you mean corticosteroid. Commonly used corticosteroids inhalers are fluticasone, budesonide in children. Dose depends on the severity of asthma and whether you wish to step down or step up the therapy.

Q. What is the difference between cold vapor and warm vapor, and indication and contraindications of both?
Post Date : 11 Jan 2026
Expert Opinion:
For their safety, always use cool-mist humidifiers for children. Hot water or steam from a warm-mist humidifier or steam vaporizer can burn a child if he or she gets too close.
Humidifiers add moisture to the air, which helps ease coughing and congestion due to a cold. Warm-mist and cool-mist humidifiers are equally effective in humidifying the air. Also, by the time the water vapor reaches your child`s lower airways, it`s the same temperature regardless of whether it started out warm or cool.
