Hi,

Okay. Yes, so try to avoid giving the medicines together. You can give Omnacortil (steroid) for a short period of time but always taper the dose, do not stop it suddenly. So if you're taking it twice for 3 weeks, wean it off to once for the next week and then stop it the week after that.

Atarax you should prefer giving it before bed as it creates a little drowsy effect and the child may fall sleepy in day if given during daytime. Consult a pediatrician.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Jinela Desouza, Neonatologist
