Hello. I have gone through your question. Omnacortil contains prednisolone which is a steroid. if used in right doses for a short period of time it is safe and can work wonders for your son. Other non steroidal alternative can be salbutamol syrup. It can also help to get rid of wheezing. I hope this helps.
If you have any other question/queries please feel free to ask. Thanks and wish you a healthy life.
