[|Human|] I have methylprednisolone that was prescribed for my back spasm that I never took. I have has recurring symptoms of a cold over the last 6 weeks that have seemed to have got better then they come back. Fbose symptoms are sore throat, loss of voice and other common cold symptoms. Csn I take this medicine and will it help to get me over these symptoms?
[|AI|]  HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor It would be best not to use this medication for these complaints. Steroids should never be used unless absolutely indicated, and they are not indicated for a common cold. They would suppress the immune system in this case anyway and would not help you fight off your infection. Resting your voice will help it to return. Additional treatment includes: (1)decongestants for any nasal symptoms, (2)if you have a post nasal Chat Doctor.
