[|Human|] Hi, My daughter of 3years has been prescribed with childhood asthma by my pediatrician.She has been prescibed Omnacortil forte 4ml twice a day,but i am not sure if such steroids are safe for my child.Last month also we had given her Omnacortil for 4-5 days.
[|AI|]  Hello, Omnacortil contains a steroid Prednisolone. It is safe to use steroids in child Chat Doctor. Prednisolone is recommended for childhood asthma. Early Steroids use reduces hospital admissions and can prevent symptom relapse. We prescribe steroids to gain prompt control of inadequately controlled acute asthmatic episodes. They are also useful in long-term prevention of symptoms in severe persistent asthma as well as for suppression, control, and reversal of inflammation.Thus, nothing to worry about the steroid use at this age. This is the usual treatment for pediatric asthma. Hope this helps. Please write back for further queries. Wishing you good health.
