Is it safe to give Defcort drops to an 8-month-old baby for a dry cough after her fever went away with Calpol?

Asked by Female, 1 · 15 days ago

Please do not give Defcort (deflazacort) drops to your baby for a dry cough without consulting her pediatrician first. Defcort is a steroid medication, not a standard cough remedy, and should only be used when specifically prescribed by a doctor. Since her fever has resolved with Calpol (paracetamol), her dry cough may just need time to clear up. In the meantime, ensure she stays well-hydrated with breast milk or water. Please have her evaluated by a doctor to safely guide her recovery.
