I was on prednisone and generic keflex. I finished taking the prednisone on Tuesday and finished the antibiotic on Thursday. Once I finished the steroids I began experiencing side effects from the antibiotic
Hi thanks for using Chat Doctor The symptoms must have started as a result of viral infection, which could because if aches and pain... Later a secondary infection must have Stein.That's why the doctor prescribed antibiotics. The infection will be settled with antibiotics. But the reactive airway will take some time to get settled. You must have had a severe respiratory sign.Hence, the doctor started with steroids. Steroids can reduce the inflammation and reactive airway symptoms.Don't stop the steroids abruptly, we have to taper the dose and stop.... For chest tightness you can use inhalation and oral bronchodilators. Combination of steroid and bronchodilator will be more effective.thank you....
