Hey i just wonder is it dangerous to use cortizones (hydrocortisone) for a girl who is 2 years old?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: "cortizones" are actually made by the body as a response to stress. We use them as therapy in certain situations. When used in excess, they can produce problems at any age.When used in proper dose for specific duration they are safe at any age, including infants.
