Can Z-pack And Prednisone Be Taken Together For Acute Pharyngitis?
Question: My 26 year old white female daughter was just prescribed a Z-pack and Prednisone for acute pharyngitis and fluid in her ear. Does this make sense to you?
Brief Answer:
they both can be used together
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
thanks for the query to hcm,
She is likely to be suffering from middle ear infection , otitis media and pharyngitis , hence a Zpack as antibiotic and prednisolone to control inflammation has been advised. Prednisolone can be used in low doses say 5mg twice a day with Zpack.
