Is Prednisolone 6x The Right Medicine For Viral Lung Infection?
My 9 yr old daughter had a viral lung infection and was on prednesol 6x 5mg for 3 days. her symptoms subsided but 2 weeks later has a cough which is stopping her sleeping and a constant cough during the day. Can i give her 3 days of prednesol again? She is asthmatic and on ventolin and becotide daily.

Hello,
Prednisone is a steroid drug and should not be used without prescription. You can try over the counter available pediatric cough syrups for symptomatic relief.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
