Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have had a nasty sore throat, feels like tonsillitis. I saw an ENT yesterday who prescribed Medrol. I have already done 2 rounds of antibiotics consecutively before I saw him. Although my throat is somewhat better, the pain is still there. Should I be concerned or just finish the Medrol and see how things go?

Is It Safe To Take Medrol For Sore Throat?
Hi.. Can understand your concern.. As per your query Medrol contains MethylPrednisolone which is a steroid more specifically a Glucocorticoid.. In case of sore throat it is given in order to reduce inflammation of the throat which leads to pain and discomfort.. If you still have pain the doctor must have prescribed it to you for faster relief from the signs of inflammation. A short course can be taken to get relief.. Along with it do warm saline gargles and avoid spicy food.. Hope your query is solved..
