Stopping Pulmicort

LO was prescribed Pulmicort 2x a day for Pneumonia & Bronchiolitis. He was wheezing pretty badly. Well, now his wheezing is totally gone and he just has a mild cough. I dont know how long his doctor wanted him on it for. Its a preventative treatment for Asthma but we don't even know if he is asthmatic. Should I stop the medicine since he is better. Im tempted not to give it to him today at all because it's a steroid and it has a lot of possible side effects. I can't ask his doctor until tomorrow. WWYD?

Give it to him until you can ask the dr

It's a steroid, so I wouldn't stop cold turkey. I'd wean him off of it. Talk to the doc and see what he suggests.
