Took Prednisone For Ankle Injury, Weight Gain, Urinary Tract, Kidney Infection. Prescribed Medication. Clinical Examination Required?
Hello Prednisolone is famous for body swelling and weight gain It is also famous for decreasing your immunity and hence urinary tract infection with kidney pain. No-one gives steroids i.e prednisolone for longer than 2 weeks for anke or any injury I would like that you should have a second opinion of stopping steroids. Continue taking cifran for infection , if not resolved get a urine culture and sensitivity done. Hope this helps
