Is Methylprednisolone Safe To Take For Chronic Sinusitis?

default
Posted on Sat, 18 Jun 2016
Question: Hi. Last Monday I received a Kenalog-40 shot. I have severe allergies and chronic sinusitis as well as an ear infection. The Dr also gave me a prescription for a med pack of methylprednosolone to take if the shot didn't help my symptoms. I'm hesitant to take them if the shot is still in my system, but my ear pain is back. I just wanted a second opinion before starting this.
