Should I take MEDROL 8MG if I tested positive for COVID-19 12 days ago and have normal oxygen levels at 98%, but still have a low-grade fever between 99.2?F and 99.6?F?

Asked by Male, 25 · 26 days ago

For a mild, low-grade fever between 99.2?F and 99.6?F at day 12 of COVID-19, taking Medrol (methylprednisolone) is generally not recommended. Methylprednisolone is a strong steroid typically reserved for more severe cases requiring oxygen support. Using steroids unnecessarily can actually interfere with your body's natural ability to clear the virus. Your body is likely just putting the finishing touches on fighting off the infection. Please stay well-hydrated, get plenty of rest, and consult your doctor before starting any steroid medication so they can safely guide your recovery.
