A member asked:
Is medrol (methylprednisolone) dose pak an appropriate treatment for viral exanthems?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Your immune system is what will cure you in these infections and the steroid suppresses its function.While it may be appropriate to do that in some cases where the patient is miserable, it is far from being accepted as a treatment of choice in most.
