Pediatrician,  's  Response
Dear user,

Tachynomia is no word in medical parlance. If you meant "tachypnoea" which is fast respiration, then the doctor must have added steroids because he had a wheezy chest and did not adequately improve with simpler, wind-pipe opening medication.

The use of steroids for a long time may cause weakness of the thigh and shoulder muscles, and prevent the child from getting up from the sleeping/sitting position to standing position. However, that is not pain. So, if you are sure the child has severe pain, you should look for the cause elsewhere.
