Is it normal to get red cheeks after taking the steroid tablet Dexona for COVID-19?

Asked by Female, 45 · 2 days ago

Yes, experiencing red or flushed cheeks is a common and generally harmless side effect of taking steroid medications like Dexona (dexamethasone). Often called a 'steroid flush,' this happens because the medication can cause blood vessels near the skin's surface to temporarily dilate. It is reassuring to know that this reaction is typically temporary and should resolve on its own once you finish your prescribed course. Please continue to monitor your symptoms, stay well-hydrated, and rest as you recover from COVID-19. If you develop any breathing difficulties, swelling, or worsening discomfort, please reach out to your doctor right away.
