A member asked:
Worried about prednisone immune response. currently have a possible tooth infection. taking amoxicillin & 40mg. pred/day. should i get tooth treated?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: If you have a dental abcess, antibiotic and prednisone are not long-term solution. Although a short course of prednisone would not impact your immune system, your dental problem needs be taken care of before it becomes a major problem.
