Is a steroid necessary for pneumonia in a child?
Hello, with pneumonia (without fever, just cough and runny nose) in a child are necessary inhalations that steroid? The child was given an antibiotic, it is installed with salt and salt with mucosolvan for inhalation. The child suffers from post-okoloustne inflammation and we are afraid of the recurrence of the rash by the steroid. Is it a necessity? The doctor did not want to hear about our concerns

If the doctor, after examining the child, decided that it requires the induction of anti-inflammatory and anti-edematous effects in the respiratory tract that the steroid provides, then it is difficult to review these recommendations. Apparently, according to the doctor's assessment, this is necessary. From a pharmaceutical point of view, I can only advise that if a child after inhalations from the steroid suffers from perioral inflammation, this can be counteracted by using a mouthpiece, not a mask - if the child is already large enough to receive a mouthpiece in the mouth. If it is necessary to use a mask, then before inhalation, the area around the mouth and nose is best smeared with an oily cream that will limit the contact of the drug with the skin. The face after inhalation should be washed, and the baby's mouth should be rinsed - alternatively, you can give him something to drink.
