Child Has Fever And Breathing Problem. Is It Safe To Take Omnacortil Syrup?
My son is 6 years old. he had fever and breathing problem. Doctor prescribed antibiotic and omnacortil syrup(10 ml-3 times-4 days,then 10 ml-2 times-2 days,then 5 ml-2 times-2 days and stop). After this course again he had fever. This time also the same course followed. Is there any side effects for Omnacortil syrup? Is it safe?. Please answer me.

Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
Short course of steroid with antibiotic does not give side effects but with repeatedly use of steroid is not advisable.
In case of your son evaluation is required for having recurrent fever and requires some blood testing to decide the cause of having fever.
Consult pediatrician and get examined.
Ok and bye.
