Hi,
Methylprednisolone is a corticosteroid medication used to reduce inflammation in people with various lung conditions. It can help relieve shortness of breath in some cases. So it may relieve cough but it should be used for a short duration.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
