This time her wheez and congestion has lasted for 10 to 12 days...she is on asthalin and duolin respules for all these days...Now she has been advised to take Omnocortil forte for 5 days...I know that it has steroids. Will it be ok to five it to her? I mean would there be any side effects? Thanks

HI
Thanks for writing to healthcare magic.
Short course of omnacortil is safe
But giving repeatedly is harmful
Your kid definitely requires inhalers for atleast 6 months
Get allergy testing done to find out the triggers so that you can avoid
Wishing your kid speedy recovery
