Can The Medicine, Prednisone, Cause Fever During The Night?

The last 2 days I have been running a fever at around 3 till night time - around 100 to 100.6. Other than the fever I feel fine. I am on prednisone for a minor car accident I was in for muscle issues and soma that I only take before bed. Can it be the prednisone? I also noticed some small bruising on my legs.

Hello,

Usually steroids may suppress the fever or any inflammation. But in case of any other infection in the body may cause fever which not controlled by steroids. You also mentioned that bruising in the legs may be rash. Use tablet paracetamol thrice a day for five days. Use tepid sponging. Please consult with your physician he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
