[|Human|] SIr I am suffering from tinnitus suddenly in my left ear since 10 days my doctor gave me antiviral treatment for 5 days now he wants to start the treatment with 60 mg prednisolon with tapering dose of 10 mg per day for one week then please what should i do i heard that steroids are harmful for renal function
[|AI|]  Asteroids definitely causes many side effects on chronic use. But gradual increase in dose and gradual tapering of the Chat Doctor. The side effects are less and benefits could be more when used for short durations such as a week. Continue treatment as per physician order.In case of chronic use, Renal function test can be carried out. Further management can be decided based on test results. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards
