[|Human|] Hi, my one year old broke out with serious looking rashes and hives. My pediatric doc prescribed presnisolone 15mg/5ml 1/2 tsp 3 times a day for 5 days. I gave her 2 days only twice and 3 rd day started to give med 3.times a day. My baby seems alot better now, I just don t feel right giving her steroid. At this point can I stop give her steroid med?
[|AI|]  Hi, Your thought of risk in giving steroids to young babies is prejudiced. We prescribe short courses of steroids in allergies not responding to routine medication / severe reactions. Steroids once started should not be stopped suddenly. Please follow the instructions of her doctor about tapering down the medication gradually. Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
