Pulmicort, could a puffy face be a side affect?

My 9 year old son has been on Pulmicort (for asthma) for 2 months now and seems to have a puffy face. This has occured very slowly over the past month. He has no other symptoms and does not appear to be having any allergic reations. I have gone to a few "side affect" sites for drugs and non mentions swelling or puffiness. Does anyone using Pulmicort have this issue?

Update:

I should mention, Pulmicort has been like a miracle drug for his asthma. No more attacks at all.

Update 2:

Thank you Tara. This is the first site were I have read that a puffy face might be a side affect. My husband thinks I'm nuts and does not see it, but it's very obvious to me.
