Pediatrician, Pulmonology 's  Response
HI...Omnacortil is a steroid. i do not recommend you giving it again without the proper prescription of a pediatrician who will assess the kid's health status and then decide whether to give it or not.

By what you quote the cough you are quoting might be wheezing and Omnacortil might still be the right choice and you may be right. But as it is a steroid I recommend you to get your kid examined by a pediatrician and then use ti on his / her recommendation.
