Suggest Treatment For Infection In The Middle Ear
Question: On Thursday my ENT Dr. started me on my third course of steroids (prednisone) and anabiotic's for a middle ear infection I have been dealing with for 7 weeks (no pain). On the same day my dermatologist put me on Fluorouracil 5% topical for precancerous cells across my face. I have done 6 treatments of the Fluorouracil with only very minor drying along the hair line. Is the prednisone interfering with the Fluorouracil? Or is this normal.
Brief Answer:
5 fluorouracil acts slowly, prednisone doesn't interfere with fluorouracil
