hi for any child with wheezing we suggest short term steroids so that their lungs don't get damaged and the reaction comes down. there are not much side effects with short term steroids rather they are helpful in controlling the wheeze. so go ahead and use it only for five days, it will help your child.hope this is helpful to you, kindly rate it if so. take care
