Berodual and Benodil are two different drugs, although both belong to the group of drugs in bronchial diseases. 4 days is a short period of treatment - it certainly did not harm the child. Please change the medicine to the right one. Berodual is an inhaled drug with bronchodilator and prevention of spastic conditions of the bronchi, facilitating the free flow of air in the respiratory tract. The drug is used in diseases proceeding with bronchospasm. https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/10339/berodual-plyn/apteki Benodil is an anti-inflammatory inhaler that contains a corticosteroid. It is used in regular, long-term treatment of bronchial asthma. The preparation reduces swelling and irritation of the lower respiratory tract, reduces the severity of symptoms and the frequency of exacerbations of bronchial asthma. https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/92180/benodil-zawiesina/apteki As these medicines are only available with a prescription, they should not be used without consulting a specialist. The decision is up to the doctor and depends on the individual case. I recommend consulting a doctor, because only he will be able to properly assess the patient's health and choose the best treatment.
