[|Human|] 1 yr old baby girl given antibiotic augmenting for 5 days for cough and cold, didn t improve much. Then doc prescribed omnacortil2.5 mg twice daily for 3 days from yesterday. 3 doses given. Is there any side effects of omnacortil? What to do if she doesn t improve much?
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Omnacortil is oral corticosteroid. It is harmful in long term use (more than 2 weeks). So better not to give oral Omnacortil for more than 2 weeks. If he is not improving after Omnacortil, better to get done chest x-ray to rule out pneumonia. He may need higher antibiotic and antihistamine Chat Doctor.  Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your son. Thanks.
