Specializes in Pediatric Allergy and Asthma

Mgt: It would be helpful to clarify your current steroid dosage. If you have asthma and are feeling nauseated please see the ED. Steroids may cause irritation of the stomach lining. A chest radiograph to rule out pneumonia may be needed. A virtual appointment is also available.
