Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query.
It is difficult to understand why one would take Dexona (dexamethasone) tablets for weight increase. It is strong corticosteroid. Plus Cyproheptadin 4 mg, is also absolutely useless for weight increase. Since there is no mention about height and weight, I can hardly comment. As regards the infection on the abdomen, please do show it to a skin doctor, it can be cured. For weight increase one needs, proper nutrition and regular structured exercise. Thank...more

Steroids are helpful in wheeze associated breathing problems but your paediatrician will be best judge.

If you are not taking the tablets as long as you were advised, you are at the risk of getting fits again.

Yes, it can be side effects of steroids.
You should better wait for it to pass off.
Don't take any more medicine.
For your regular complaints take homoeopathic treatment.
