Suggest A Remedy For Red Rashes In Throat While On Steroids For Bronchitis

I think I have a viral infection. I was being treated for bronchitis with steroids for 5 days. Today, the fifth day I noticed like my throat was closing up. When I looked with a light I saw a red rash in my throat. What can I treat this with until I can see my dr.?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of red rashes in throat while on steroids for bronchitis which could be due to upper respiratory tract infection. Need not to worry. You can take methylprednisolone for this as well. Start treatment after proper diagnosis. Take proper course of antibiotics. I would suggest you to visit pulmonologist once and get throat swab test done. Go for blood and sputum test first and get it examined. You should get your pulmonary function tests as well to access exact level of infection. You should take combination of anti allergic and antihistamine medications for immediate relief. Take steam inhalation as well. You should take cough expectorants. Sip on warm water. Avoid cold drinks.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
