A member asked:

Are steroid shots recommended to help get over uris and ear infections such as otitis externa? and where on the body are they given?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Steroids can be helpful for systemic inflammatory conditions or for asthma exacerbations but can have possible significant side effects. It would not be recommended for a simple URI or for otitis externa
