A member asked:
Are steroid used for general non-specific inflammation of oragans, esophagus, and gastrointestinal system?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Steroid use.: Steroids are not usually used for generalized inflammation. Your doctor likely has a specific reason for using steroids. Don't treat yourself. There are potential complications when using steroids. Only use these under direction of your doctor. They can help a number of problems but use only if directed.
