hi,
you should stop steroids as early as possible.
taper them off in gradual manner. do not stop abruptly.
drink plenty of fluids,lemon juice with sugar and fruit juices.
oral rehydration solutions will help.
thanks
In my opinion your are doing well with this treatment and on the right path..keep on the medication as prescribed and stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids and pedialyte ,avoid allergens and strain ,eat a lot of fibers ,
Suck on popsicles made from juices and sports drinks.
Suck on freeze bottled water or ice chips at frequent intervals
Eat yoghurt it is great for rehydration and a cup of coconut water ..
Hi
I recommend doing urine analysis and blood glucose post and brandial, do you have fever? Or skin disease?
Your dehydration symptoms are not sever yet we need to identify the cause
Good Luck
I do not think that this dose caused u diabetis…
Do u have any other troubles like dizziness, fatigue, palpitation ,any pain, fever…
I recommend u to do urine analysis, CBC and random blood sugar…
Not to worry
