Are There Side Effects Of Omnacortil Taken For Cough?
My daughter (5.5yrs old) is suffering from cough in last few weeks. But the same is not a continuous cough, which means in every day morning 2am-4am she started to cough. I think its related to some allergic. Now Dr. prescribed Omnacortil syp. If there is any side-effects by using this? Thanks for your reply..
Hi, Thanks for your query. A short course of steroid for a week is usually OK. But a longer period will result in stomach discomfort, may hamper the cartilage growth, may erode the bone. Antacids has to be taken and drugs to care for ostoporosis has to be taken...If on steroid for longer time then a special eye on infection..
You must have told the indication of steroid in your child and in what dose she is taking and for how long....
Best wishes
