Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

Yes, you can stop it in only one way.

You can find out possible allergen causing allergy to you.

Wysolone is steroid and prolong treatment can cause fungal infection to you. Steroid causes immunosuppression so inhaled fungal spores can greo and cause fungal infection.

If you can search the possible allergen than you can gradually tapper the dose of steroids. And once you feel that you are free from the possible symptoms you can switch down the steroid.

Please get your blood sugar done as diabetics can have increase possibility of fungal infection.

Please maintain good hygiene as it is equally important in treating the infection.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank
