Hello,
Steroids may help improve the congestion, but they can also cause a fungal infection or a bacterial infection in this area. For this reason, I would recommend performing a bacterial culture of the throat materials (throat swab).
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
