Prednisone is a corticosteroid that helps reduce inflammation in the lungs, making it useful in treating lung infections, particularly those associated with conditions like Asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). By decreasing inflammation, it can alleviate symptoms such as wheezing and shortness of breath, improving overall respiratory function. However, it does not directly treat the infection itself, so it is often used in conjunction with antibiotics or antiviral medications if a specific pathogen is present. Always consult a healthcare professional for appropriate treatment options.

Is Prednisone used for sinus infection?
Oftentimes sinus infections linger because the sinus cavities are inflamed and mucus cannot drain properly. (The excess of mucus could be caused by an infection, like a virus, bacteria or mold -OR- by the body's belief there is an infection, an allergic reaction.)The mucus is trapped in one or more of the sinus pockets which in turn causes pain and pressure. Prednisone is an immunosuppressant and acts as an anti-inflamitory. It allows the inflamed tissues to shrink thereby allowing mucus to drain. Where appropriate, Prednisone may be combined with antibiotics or anti-allergen medication.
