Patient: My 7 years old son diagnosed by primary complex by TB specialist He prescribed R-cine with some other medicine and 5mg Wysolone, two tablet per day, he is taking Last 5 months, doctor said 6th moth it will be tapered and treatment will be end. Every month he is testing his blood test and liver test. I afraid of whysolone shall I continue or I can request to taper the tablet , what will be side effect of whysolone, I read about side effect in the web side I really worried please advice me . Thanks Sugumar Doctor: if your son is not showing any side effects of steroids that is gain in weight, facial puffiness, increased respiratory infections then better to wait but in case steroids stopped also, if he develops any kind of infections u need to mention with doctor that he has taken steroids for such a problem.
