Can Prednisone Treat Allergic Reaction Caused After A Cortisone Shot?

I am a 67 year old post menopause female who just completed a 10 day regimen of prednisone to treat an allergic reaction I had to a cortisone shot. Within 2 days of stopping the prednisone, I had mild bleeding for about 4 days. My internist tested my urine and blood for a number of infections but did not get any positives. He suggested this may be a gynecological issue. The traces of blood have stopped. Should I be concerned?

Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

The medicines and the shot of injection which you have taken has helped you in control of inflammation and allergy caused by the allergen.These medication will not cause any symptoms like bleeding and as you have been evaluated for the presence of any infection in the body it is not due to the medicines or the infections.

As your doctor as informed you that you may be having some gynecological problems, I suggest you to consult the gynecologist at the earliest for the physical examinations to find out the cause for bleeding.
Thank you.
