Hello,

Steroids are the drug which helps in such condition because it suppresses the immune system and as it has beneficiary action.

On other hands, there are many side effects also, but that depends on dosage and duration of steroid treatment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
