Unlikely: I do not think that these two items would have any connection at all.

Absolutely not: Neither inhaled nor oral corticosteroids are Anabolic steroids and will not affect penis size in either direction. If you truly have this concern please see a urologist for a comprehensive evaluation. That should be your first stop.
