Could the stomach aches be related to the medication taken from Friday to Monday and the onset of pain on Tuesday?

Question

Stomach ache as a 4 year old, my daughter had an asthma attack last week and the pediatrician gave her Ventolin 100mcg/dose 2 inhalations 3x/day and cortisone tablet (Dexamethasone 2MG) 2.5 tablets 1x/day 3 days in addition to continuing her flovent 125 mcg 2 inhalations 2x/day for 1 month. I was wondering if her tummy aches for the past 3 days could be the cause, as she is eating well, going to the bathroom (first day of tummy aches 2x in diarrhea and now normal). I started Biogaia probiotics yesterday to see if it was not a little flora imbalance because of the strong medication she had. Thank you very much for your quick feedback. I will monitor its condition and progress over the next few days.

Good morning, ma'am, Dexamethasone can cause tummy aches, but considering the short treatment, the tummy aches should go away quickly. I am reassured that you report a good general condition, that she is eating well and going to the bathroom. For now, just monitor the situation. I will remain available if you have any further questions Sincerely Tom Samaha, Pharmacist With pleasure, do not hesitate if there is anything.
