Avatar f tn Then from not treating the bacteria in the back of my throat caused my tonsils down my throat to swell so I was prescribed prednisone. It cured. But this time the doctor gave me Clindamycin and the bacteria is going away in the tonsils but not in the back of the throat yet. So I made an appointment next week just in case it is still there and I would have to take prednisone all over again?

1580703 tn?1651904887 s 600-625 for a few weeks. when I took prednisone and solumedrol I came down with sore throat and a bad infection that didn't respond to antibiotics and lasted 1 month. I am still wheezing several months later. what could have caused this and what can I do to treat it? the doctor seems to say it is due to vocal chord problems. I noticed on 40-50mg of prednisone a day my FVC increased from 70 to 80. thanks so much!
Avatar n tn I still have a cough, and went to a walk in today, and the doctor thought I might have bronchitis or pneumonia. I usually take prednisone for my breathing difficulties. Will this help with the possible broc/pne? She suggested 5 20mg. a day for 7 days. Has anyone had an experience like this? I am leaving on a cruise Sunday, and do not want to be sick. If you can help, I would appreciate it.
Avatar f tn I've taken Prednisone for 5 days for a sore throat. I finished yesterday, but would like to know is it safe to take my multivitamin pill and vitamin d pill now? I didn't take it along with the prednisone because I wasn't sure if it will interfere. But now that I finished the prednisone, is it safe to take it now?
Avatar f tn So I caught a bacteria on my throat last month and was prescribed with Amoxicillin. It got rid of the infection, but then right after my tonsils from inside my throat was swollen and was taking Prednisone. It went away. I felt better and now I have it again. A bacteria on my tonsils and I found out I am getting it from my filthy fan. This time the doctor gave me Clindamycin.
144586 tn?1284666164 The acid destroys the barrier to bacterial infection, and together with the prednisone the patient becomes prone to a sore throat, and infection which may rapidly progress to the lung. Thus, the drill is, when on high-dose oral predisone, avoid esophageal acid erosion. I don't know why this information is not widely known. This is accomplished by: (a) not eating within two hours of sleeping. (b) avoiding foods that contain methylxanthines (chocolate), which relax the sphincter.
Avatar n tn Get a second opinion by all means. I was put on 4 days course of prednisone on few occasions for other conditions. I think it is anti inflammatory drugs so it seems a right treatment. Prednisone has some terrible side effects but it is also effective. Just giving my two cents.
Avatar f tn About a year and a half ago, I had a severe asthma episode and coschondrits for the first time. I was put on a 2 week coarse of Prednisone along with ibuprofen. By the end I had developed an issue swallowing pills. Even my small thyroid ones felt like they got stuck. Then it progressed to coughing up small hard bits of food, severe reflux, etc. After too much testing, the problem mostly resolved except for lingering occasional esophageal spasms and the thought that some was just hypersesivity.
Avatar f tn m only supposed to take the prednisone for 5 days total. Is this going to make me sicker/make the cold last longer when I get off the prednisone in a few days?

Avatar f tn ve been on 2 different Antibiotics, Prednisone, and Prilosec since these symptoms appeared. The Prednisone worked wonders but, 2 days after I finished it, the symptoms returned. The weirdest thing about it is it's not like I've been down and out sick. The trachea pain is what has me really worried. I have an appt to see an ENT tomorrow, hopefully he'll be able to help me out. Has anyone else experienced this or have insight as to what the cause could be?
1580703 tn?1651904887 but if you take too much prednisone can it damage your liver like at 50-60mg/day for 7 days?
Avatar n tn He told me that I have some inflammation in the throat, and he prescribed Prednisone for a month (Light doze), and asked me to see him after a month. I am taking the prednisone for the last one week, now; the thing is, that I am feeling the sore-throat feeling, and dryness in my throat all the time. Can you please advise what’s going wrong with my throat? Is it the side effect of the Prednisone or I am having some other serious problem. An early response is appreciated. Thanks Kiran.
793908 tn?1294705109 But your dog was only on prednisone for a few months, not nearly enough time according to my general knowledge for it to damage organs. On the other hand, since your dog tends to have pancreatitis attacks, logically I suppose a case could be made that the prednisone set it off in June. Looks like there must be other drugs that could be used to help your dog's supposed Cushings, rather than the prednisone. The last thing your pup needs is more misery on top of misery.
Avatar n tn I started wheezing, coughing, and spitting up phlegm (yellowish in color) about 8 months ago. Since then I have been on various rounds of antibiotics, prednisone, cough syrups, singular, symbicort, albuterol etc. I had been treated at the allergy clinic years before for allergies and asthma. I have had to take about 8 days of 10mg prednisone about 4 -5 times in the last 8 months. It is about the only thing that helps my coughing and spitting up of phlegm.
Avatar f tn I went to the hospital immediately they told me I had uvulitis gave me prednisone and told me to take benadryl. I did the whole 5 days of prednisone the sore throat went away and the uvula went down a bit. Then around the middle of June I noticed it felt like something was stuck in my throat I looked and my tonsils seemed to be really swollen but no pain. At that time I had no health insurance so I couldn't get to the doctor. I gargled with salt water and the swelling went down some.
1207048 tn?1282174304 ) But when I had a two-week course of prednisone for sudden hearing loss, the achiness improved greatly or even went away for a long time--weeks or months, if I remember correctly. It might be a virus, but since it's happened twice after prednisone, who knows. You should let your doctor know about it. Hope you get some good rest. Rest REALLY helps achiness.
7020218 tn?1426544951 I have had some cough past 2-3 weeks. Initially I was coughing with some throat pain for a few days but later I don't have pain, just prolonged cough. I saw urgent care and they gave me prednisone, azythromycin, hyrdromet and benzonatate. My cough hasn't gone completely yet - just low level and my legs have been achy. I have no fever, no nausea, no vomitting. 2 docs I saw in 2 weeks said my lungs are clear.
Avatar n tn It is unusual for a person to be taking oral prednisone for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), especially in a dose as high as 20 mg daily. That dose puts you at risk for a lot of steroid side effects, such as muscle weakness, bone thinning, cataracts, fragile skin, hypertension etc. You should ask your doctor why you need 20 mg of prednisone. You may also want to consult with a lung specialist about this and other inhaled medicines available to people with COPD.
Avatar n tn My boy has had this horrible cough for almost a year. It sounds terrible. Very deep and almost like he's choking and trying to clear his throat. He's had an echocardiogram, results showed minor leakage from both valves (normal for his age as per the vet). Vet said he's allergic to something or a lung problem. All xrays normal. He put him on Theophyline twice a day and then added prednisone once a day. My boy became very hyper and panting terribly. Vet said cut prednisone down.
Avatar f tn He did check her throat and chest, said they were clear. She has not been tested for asthma. As for the prednisone, the first time, and this time it's for 4 days each. I think when she finishes the prednisone this time, I will go back to the pseudophedrine. I have vicks rub. Thanks for replying.
Avatar m tn Hi! I have had a sore throat for 2 months now. The symptoms change every time, but the sore throat is continuous. The main symptoms are sore throat, shortness of breath while talking, and sweating. My doctor isn't sure what I have either. Thank you in advance for your help *I am allergic to many things and don't know if this could be the cause of it.
Avatar n tn Strep throat is confirmed by a test when they swab the back of your throat. I can't comprehend any doctor treating you for strep throat if they have not tested you for it. If the diagnoses has been confirmed and you are not responding to the antibiotics you mights need something stronger. You should call your doctor's office and let them know how you are feeling. They would be able to call something else in for you or might want to do other tests to confirm what may be the problem.
