Comparison between single‐dose oral prednisolone and oral dexamethasone in the treatment of croup: A randomized, double‐blinded clinical trial

Abstract

Both prednisolone 1 mg/kg and low-dose dexamethasone (0.15 mg/kg) were found not to differ in efficacy from the currently recommended 0.6 mg/kg dexamethasone. The use of these corticosteroid regimens in treating patients with mild to moderate croup is thus supported.
