Hello,
The steroid is not the solution for every cough. We need to be evaluated for cough and treat the cause will relieve the symptoms. If it pneumonia or bronchitis or cough variant of asthma or allergic or irritants cough or acid reflux etcetera. Please consult your physician he will examine and diagnose the cause and treat you accordingly.
