This depends on the context of your question. Antibiotics kill bacteria (but have no effect on viruses or fungi). People who are treated with steroids (usually as a strong anti-inflammatory drug) are prone to get bacteria, viral or fungal infections more often than normal healthy people (adult or children).
Antibiotics and steroids are often used in combination for some types of infections or in some patients with underlying systemic diseases, such as chronic airway obstructive diseases like Asthma or in patients with Diabetes and other chronic diseases, who have an infection that is not responding as desired to improve the symptoms with only one or the other of these drugs.
If you are on regular treatment with steroids, then the doctor may have given you antibiotics hoping to prevent secondary opportunistic infections or maybe he/she has prescribed the antibiotics for some specific infection. I would suggest you to contact the prescribing doctor and ask your specific question, since the answer can vary depending on the full circumstances of your condition. There is no risk of using these two drugs together in short-term use, but it is not recommended to use these drugs on a regular basis for the long-term if there are any alternatives.
