Throat tissues can take some time to fully heal even after finishing your medications, including Clavam, Nimulid, Metrogyl, and Defcort. Since your doctor expected this to resolve on its own, it is likely just mild, residual inflammation. To support your recovery, stay well-hydrated with warm fluids and try soothing salt-water gargles. However, if you experience any difficulty breathing or swallowing, worsening pain, or a returning fever, please contact your doctor or seek medical care immediately.

Yes, both your itching and high eosinophil levels should gradually return to normal now that you have treated the scabies with Permite (permethrin) and Defcort (deflazacort). Scabies triggers an allergic reaction, which raises eosinophils and causes itching. Even after the mites are successfully cleared, dead mites and debris can cause itching to persist for two to four weeks. This 'post-scabetic itch' is a normal healing response, not a sign of active infection. Your eosinophil levels will also normalize as the inflammation resolves.

Yes, the medications you are taking can cause these effects. Defcort TM contains deflazacort, a steroid that can cause trouble sleeping, and tamsulosin, which can affect blood pressure and circulation, leading to heaviness in your legs or arms. Urispa (flavoxate) can also contribute to general fatigue. Please do not stop taking Defcort TM suddenly, as stopping steroids abruptly can be harmful. I highly recommend contacting your prescribing doctor so they can safely adjust your dosage or find a more comfortable alternative for your kidney stone.

Your mother's risk for black fungus is very low since she stopped Defcort (deflazacort) two months ago, as this infection is typically linked to active, high-dose steroid use. HCQS (hydroxychloroquine) manages lupus without severely weakening her immune system. She is not at an extraordinarily high risk for COVID-19, but vaccination is highly recommended and safe for patients with lupus to provide essential protection. Please consult her rheumatologist to coordinate the best timing for her vaccine based on her current health status.

Defcort 6 contains the active ingredient deflazacort, which is a corticosteroid. While it does not directly dissolve or break down kidney stones, it is sometimes prescribed to help reduce swelling and inflammation in your urinary tract. This can make it easier and less painful for the stone to pass. However, it is typically used alongside other supportive treatments. I highly recommend discussing this with your doctor to ensure it is the safest and most effective approach for your specific stone size.

Taking Montair LC (montelukast and levocetirizine) and Defcort 6 mg (deflazacort) just once a week is not an effective or recommended way to manage these conditions. Montair LC is typically taken daily for allergies, while Defcort, a steroid, should only be used under strict medical guidance to avoid side effects like mood changes, weight gain, or stomach upset. Using oral steroids weekly without supervision is not safe for long-term asthma control. Please consult your doctor to find a safe, daily management plan that works best for you.
