Hi, my one year old broke out with serious looking rashes and hives. My pediatric doc prescribed presnisolone 15mg/5ml 1/2 tsp 3 times a day for 5 days. I gave her 2 days only twice and 3 rd day started to give med 3.times a day. My baby seems alot better now, I just don t feel right giving her steroid. At this point can I stop give her steroid med?
Hi, Your thought of risk in giving steroids to young babies is prejudiced. We prescribe short courses of steroids in allergies not responding to routine medication / severe reactions. Steroids once started should not be stopped suddenly. Please follow the instructions of her doctor about tapering down the medication gradually. Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
