Budesonide nebulization can treat pharyngitis; if the infection is severe, antibiotic therapy may be prescribed. Budesonide is a potent glucocorticoid available in several formulations, including budesonide suspension, budesonide Cosfrey (a brand name), and budesonide oral spray. Budesonide suspension is highly effective for nebulized treatment of pharyngitis, tonsillitis, and laryngitis.
