Son prescribed orapred for croup. would he still get a fever if he developed pneumonia or sinus infection or do the steroids suppress fever?

They might: Prednisone is a potent anti-inflammatory drug and should be used sparingly under your docs supervision. Hope that he gets better soon! Happy New Year!
