Hello,
Yes, steroids are the first line treatment in nephrotic syndrome. If symptoms not reduced you have to increase the dose until remission then slowly taper the dose or maintain the dose at best tolerable level.
Still, immunosuppressants may also be used depending upon the resistance of the disease.
Please consult your paediatrician he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
