Is it ok to give steroids to a 1yr old who is having atopic dermatitis? We can really see improvements after the doctor suggested us to give a betnesol tablet in a dilution with water in a spoon. Are there any serious side effects? What could be the long term side effects?

[@sagarbhattad]

Steroids can be given for atopic dermatitis. However, if prolonged steroids are necessary, it is better to use other medications called steroid sparing agents or immunomodulators. Your dermatologist would guide you

Can I use steroid on my daughter diagnosed with croup? She had first dose yesterday 7ml and I’m thinking not to give her the other two doses.
