Study Arms:
- Dexamethasone (Type: EXPERIMENTAL): Dexamethasone 8 mg (2 capsules of 4 mg) given orally twice a day for 4 days, then 4 mg given orally twice a day for 3 days. In the open label phase, patients assigned to either arm asked to take Dexamethasone 4 mg orally twice a day for 7 days. Patient to blow into spirometry machine 1 time a day to test lung function. Questionnaires completed at baseline and at day 7 and 14. It should take about 15 minutes to complete these questionnaires. Questionnaires completed at baseline and at day 7 and 14. It should take about 15 minutes to complete these questionnaires.~Participants randomized to either dexamethasone or placebo for 7 days in a blinded fashion; this will be followed by an open label phase in which patients in both arms would take dexamethasone for 7 days.
- Placebo (Type: PLACEBO_COMPARATOR): Two placebo capsules taken twice a day for 4 days, followed by one capsule twice a day for 3 days. Patient to blow into spirometry machine 1 time a day to test lung function. Questionnaires completed at baseline and at day 7 and 14. It should take about 15 minutes to complete these questionnaires.

Based on this trial design, predict the completion outcome and termination type (if applicable).
