IS prednisolone given to infant( 2yrs) just as a single dosage...? like whenever my sons wheezes my doc has told to give him just one shot of it ( 2.5 ml) and he says it controlls it immediately and then a 5 day zithromycin syrup......it works like magic...but is it done thing with sterooids..just one dosage..as sterooids are always to be taken for a period of 4-5days....am confused any body who can clear this.

Asthma treatment is done in phases, where phase one (mild asthma) consists of ventolin treatment and progresses by adding steroid inhalers to giving oral steroids in the latter phases when asthma is more serious. It is commonly prescribed as a course of a few days. However this is a general rule, and may not apply to all young children where the treatment is ‘individualised’.

If you have questions related to choice of treatment, I think it is very reasonable to ask for a bit more explanation and / or get a second opinion.
