Brief Summary  

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID 19) has run a mild course in majority of children. The second wave in India has been accompanied by a significant increase in pediatric population, though the severity of the disease in this age group has been milder than the adult counterpart till now. Research in pediatric COVID 19 treatment has been scarce mainly due to the benign course of the illness but this might not be the case with future mutation in the COVID 19 which is part of the disease characteristics. In adults with pre-existing condition like diabetes and hypertension or people above 60 years with mild disease, inhaled budesonide has been useful in preventing progression of this condition and has been found to be safe to use. With varied duration of symptoms noted with children even in a benign course, our open label randomized controlled trial is looking into the use of budesonide as a therapeutic option in preventing progression and reducing the time duration of associated symptoms.
