A member asked:
How many steriod shots can you get safely per year for symptoms like sinus infection or flu?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not typical care : Steroid injections are not an effective treatment for either of these conditions. Steroids should actually be avoided with these conditions as they can impair the immune system.
