Is prednisone a good medicine for 3 year old asthma patient?

Routinely used : Prednisone is a synthetic medication that mimics the natural stress response cortisol that is produced by the adrenal glands.It helps stabilize inflamed tissues & reduces the intensity of asthma symptoms.I use it as needed in infants, toddlers or older kids.

If needed yes: Often when a chid has an uncontrollable asthma flare, Prednisone is necessary to stop it. Regimens can differ but most include a short burst (several days) of a higher dose then slowly tapered. Prednisone hypes kids up so he may be more irritable. To avoid oral steroids, identify triggers and use controller medicine. Parent classes about asthma care help. Get a written asthma plan from his doctor.
