Budesonide is not an antihistamine. It’s a steroid. People with COPD or lung failure take it, it’s not for allergies.
Not all allergy medicine is an antihistamine. Budesonide is found in most OTC allergy inhalers. https://www.riteaid.com/shop/rite-aid-budesonide-nasal-spray-120-metered-sprays-0361559
Dosage is the key on this one. For COPD, you'd give someone 5x the dosage concentration found in the allergy inhalers. For something like a respiratory infection, it'd be more like 10x.
