Doctor's answer:
Prednisone tablets are also known as hormones. Hello, what condition has your child been diagnosed with? Advice: The common side effects in children are: If children use prednisone for a long time, they must be very cautious, as hormones can inhibit the growth and development of the child. Oral medium-acting preparation alternate-day therapy can reduce the inhibitory effect on growth. Long-term use of corticosteroids in children or young patients must be closely monitored, as the risk of osteoporosis, avascular necrosis of the femoral head, glaucoma, and cataracts in the child will increase. The dose of hormones used in children, in addition to being generally determined according to age and weight, should also be determined according to the severity of the disease and the child's response to treatment. For the treatment of children with adrenal cortical insufficiency, the dose of hormones should be determined according to body surface area, as determining the dose according to weight is prone to overdose, especially in infants and young children and children who are short or obese.
