it's a steroid. steroids treat inflammation. but they also can hurt how effective the immune system is, but if you're going to die from inflammation it's better to get rid of it, obviously
i take two (weak) steroids every day, for allergies and asthma. and whenever i get bad i either get prednisone (or prednisolone) or in hospital they usually use high doses of IV salmeterol. but i haven't had it really bad for a while
they make you hungry as hell btw
