HiXXXXX
Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic.
Child with asthma, with an acute at present requires bronchodilator medication such as salbutamol in the form of nebulization, inhalation, or in syrup form depending on the severity of attack.
If there is no associated bacterial infection, antibiotic is not required. Child may develop antibiotic resistance if it is given without a clinical indication.
Omnacortil is steroid and it is prescribed drug. If it is used inadvertently it may lead to steroid facies, growth problems in children.
At present, you can give salbutamol in prescribed dose and consult the pediatrician for clinical examination to assess the severity of attack and to prescribe an appropriate medication advise with a follow up instructions.
Hope I have answered your query, if you have any clarification please let me know.
Regards.
