Brief Answer:
yes, 1 to 2 mg/kg/day divided in three times a day.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I have gone through the query and here is my advice.

As per your history, if having similar complaints, then you can give omnacortil forte.

If it's in syrup form and 15mg/5ml, then you can give as per her weight.

Usual dosage is 1 to 2 mg/kg/day divided in three times a day.

If weight is around 18 to 20 kg, then you can give 4 ml three times a day.

Along with that watch for symptoms like fever, breathing difficulty. Kindly Continue nebulization.

Let me know I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shyam Kale
