Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
You are already giving steroids by inhaler.
There is no need for giving Omnacortril specially when there is no wheezing asthma.
Omnacortril forte (15 mg/5 ml) is too high a dose for 3 year old baby.
I personally do not recommend Omnacortril forte for this case.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
