Don't worry.
Omnacortil is a steroid.
But if given under medical supervision for short duration it is safe.
The other syrups also would help in relieving the cough and bringing out the secretions from respiratory passages.
But do enquire with your doctor about starting inhalers.
Inhaled steroids are much safer than oral omnacortil.
As she grows usually these allergic symptoms will decrease.
Wishing your child good health.
