Hi,Thanks for consulting at HCM.
Dry cough while your child is on prednisolone due to nephrotic syndrome is worrisome.Hypothyroidism and nephrotic syndrome are both known to cause accumulation of fluid around lungs,called pleral effusion.It could be due to pneumonia as he is at more risk.No need to taper off this early,just monitor TSH 3 monthly.
Hope it satisfies you.Get well soon.

Looking forward to see you again at HCM.
