Prescribed steroids for DS's chesty cough - don't want to give them to him. Please give me some advice!

[mylittlepuds]

I normally just glance over side effects on the info leaflet and think 'hey ho' needs must.

But my God the side effects of these steroids - Prednisolone - seem extreme and I'm very nervous about giving them to DS.

It's been well over two weeks though and he still has the wheezy 'loose' chest. No temp of anything though - absolutely his normal self.

Help!

Goodness me! Wheeze gone! Bloody hell!

I was tempted to stop it BTP. But shall plug on

Glad to hear your son is on the mend op

Both my sons had steroids for different reasons- short courses.
No obvious side affects apart from problems cured.
With my frighteningly wheezy one the immediate relief countered the fear of side affects.
