Hi,
Wysolone is a steroid and is the only available option for many life threatening diseases.
Long term use can result in hormone disturbances, weight gain, cataracts, diabetes, hair growth and weak bones.
In you child's case, as tapering will be done shortly, no side effects will be there, so no worries to you.
all the best.
