Hi, I am Chat Doctor.  You can discuss this with your doctor.All medicines used based on principle of risk reward. Oral steroids can be used for short term and are relatively safe for use, but for long term better option will be use of inhalation steroids which are safe for long term use. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow-up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questionsTake care.
