Official Title: INTRAVENOUS DEXAMETHASONE VERSUS METHYLPREDNISOLONE IN WITH SEVERE ASTHMA EXACERBATION: A RANDOMISED, OPEN-LABEL, SINGLE-CENTRE STUDY

The study aims to determine whether a two-day intravenous course of dexamethasone is non-inferior to a conventional five-day intravenous course of methylprednisolone in children presenting with severe asthma exacerbations.
