Hi... I understand your concern. By what you quote I feel that your kid might be having a Bronchiolitis or a viral infection of the lung with lower respiratory infection. The dose of steroid is on the upper limit of normal probably (as you have not mentioned the babies weight). As you say there is worsening of symptoms - If there is fast breathing and inability to feed, then, it is an indication for hospitalization. Regards -
