I need to know why a doctor would prescribe steroids to a 2 year old. Also are they addictive and will he go through withdrawal after the treatment is over?

Steroids are a high-powered version of antibiotics. If earlier treatments of traditional antibiotics did not work, this might well be the next step. They are !not! Intended for long-term use, and can have long-term effects. They do need to be stopped gradually once they have worked, but they aren't "addictive" in the sense illegal drugs are. Your pharmacist can give you more specifics. Have you asked your doctor these questions? He may be willing to try something else as well.
