  5. My wife has had a dry cough for a month now, and it's worse at night when shes trying to sleep. She's also breastfeeding. Her doctor said it might be asthma, even though she doesnt have any trouble breathing, and prescribed budamate 200 with an inhaler. She used the inhaler once but her cough got worse afterward. Is this safe for her, and should she keep using it? I'm really worried about why her cough got worse after just one dose.

Budesonide and Formoterol are generally considered safe for breastfeeding mothers, as only minimal amounts pass into breast milk and After using the inhaler, rinsing helps reduce throat irritation and prevents infections like thrush.
