What Causes Sore Throat And Dermatitis Under Eyes While On Medrol?

Considerations
Detailed Answer:
Hello, Welcome to HCM.
Thank you for sending the question.
The steroid component of the Medrol dose pack was given to you because of the dermatitis. Generally for an allergic type of dermatitis this type of steroid would work very well as it seems to have in your case.
Regarding the sore throat, I do not see any direct connection between the rash, the steroid medication or the sore throat.
Sometimes a Streptococcal infection can cause a rash and sore throat but I wouldn't expect a rash to clear up just with the steroid if that were the case for you.
I suspect a sore throat might have been due to something else including possibly a virus. The steroid medication in fact would be expected to alleviate symptoms of sore throat actually.
I hope you continue to feel better. Just try some Betadine gargling.
Thanks again for sending your question. have a wonderful day.
Sincerely,
Dr. Galamaga
