Anyone Familiar with Pulmicort

Anyone familiar with a medicine called pulmicort? It is a preventitive asthma medication. I am told it is also for allergies.

Has been off of oxygen since April. All of that said, he is struggling with weather changes and the cold and flu season. A tiny cold leads to wheezing and bronchiolitis almost every time. My doc...
