Not a big deal, especially you are still fine at this time with this question. Recently, studies have shown that steroids do not make any difference in treating mild to moderate Covid-19 infection. It may have some benefits in patients who require mechanical ventilation.

Watch for shortness of breath, difficulty breathing and prolonged cough. Fatigue is common post COVID 19. The dose of the Medrol is being tapered with the goal of discontinuation from your note. Continue as prescribed and the mistake one time should not have a long term effect.
