Hello,
Yes, it is a steroid and it will reduce the respiratory bronchiole inflammation and edema. But you have to wash mouth of the child every time after using this. So less chances of opportunistic infection. Use water vapour inhalation thrice a day for five days. Use antihistamines to decrease allergy.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
