Bronchitis; doing 5 day burst 40mgs prednisone. horrible sharp smelling breath, skin, and stool after only 2 days. is this side effects? worried.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Prednisone: Bad smelling breath, stool can be due to colitis (most likely) & prednisone. Are you on an antibiotic? If you are having worsening diarrhea, consult with us as some bacteria can cause particularly bad smelling stool.
