A member asked:
My 18 mo has bad ear infection and heavy coughing. dr gave prednisolone sodium phosphate oral solution for cough. is it ok for 18 mo old?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Indicated?: I don't tend to prescribe Prednisolone for cough (except asthma exacerbation), but I have not examined your child. It is OK to give an 18mo Prednisolone but I am not sure I would say it is indicated in this case.
