A member asked:

I have a productive cough and new hip pain will a medrol dose pak help?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Stuart Hickerson answered

Specializes in Family Medicine

Depends: If your hip pain and cough are related, you should probably be seen. If you have bronchitis or wheezing often a steroid can help that.
