Thank you for confiding question on this platform.
Not at all. Though I am an Ayurveda Doctor but I know from my three decades old career that it will not harm the baby. But it should not be sustained for very very lengthy durations in order to prevent child from becoming steroid dependent and no frequent doses please.
May I be of any other help, please.
I find this answer helpful
