A member asked:
Are there any side effects to the steroids doctors give u for swollen tonsils? they gave me a bit and sent me home had them before just wondering.

"Short term" OK: Using steroids for a short period of time is usually OK. A large dose with rapid tapering is often helpful in allergic and other "swelling". Long term there are many side effects. Hope this helps Dr Z
