It is very important that you contact your prescribing doctor immediately. Reducing your Medrol (methylprednisolone) dose can sometimes cause a return of inflammation, leading to your current symptoms of fever, cough, and a fast heart rate. Please do not adjust your steroid dose, doxycycline, or Allegra (fexofenadine) on your own. Continue to monitor your oxygen levels closely. While 95% to 96% is acceptable, you should seek urgent medical care if your oxygen drops below 92%, or if you experience worsening shortness of breath or chest pain. Your doctor will likely need to adjust your medication taper safely.
