A member asked:
I started my prednisone yesterday afternoon for an ear infection can prednisone cause me to have a cough?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Does not add up: Prednisone is not an appropriate treatment for ear infection. Your cough may be related to the infection rather than prednisone. It would be prudent to consult your doctor or go the emergency room of a nearby hospital.
