A member asked:
How often can a steroid burst safely be done? took 5days prednisone 3wks ago, now need help again for horrible cough. dangerous to do another burst?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dangerous w/o superv: Coughing is not best treated with steroids. If you just finished about of using the prednisone, and you feel you need steroids again to control your symptoms of coughing., then you need to call your doctor first to let her or him know that you're having the same symptoms. Then s/he will decide what is best for you to take for your cough, since you have a celiac history. You need to be under medical supervision. This is the safest route.
