HI
Thank for asking to HCM
You have taken enough steroid which would not required up to this much days, more over I did not find the valid reason for this, even if you have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease then also short course of steroid would have been enough and the main aim would have been underlying cause of this condition, now you have to stop the steroid otherwise the infection will not be controlled or eradicated, your other condition if you want to cure this then stop the steroid now, take care and have nice day.
