Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
I have gone through the drug list prescribed by pediatrician.
Yes, omnacortil drops are safe in children.
Steroids (omnacortil) is safe in children.
For short term use (less than 2 months), steroids won't cause serious side effects.
So better not to give omnacortil drops for more than 2 months.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your child. Thanks.
