Is A Head Wash Safe While Suffering From Acute Bronchitis?
Thank you. I am on prednisone 20 mg 2 pills a day for 5 days and an antibiotic for 6 days because of acute bronchitis. Can I wash my hair and then use a hair dryer or is it better to wait it out? Don t answer as I will not pay I thought this was a free consult.
