Is It Safe To Take Methylprednisolone If I Have A Nail Fungus?

I have toe nail fungus and have had it for some years. I started taking methylpred 4mg PAK today to a sinus infection and have taken 4 pills. I read that taken this drug with a body fungus anywhere is not good. Can I stop now and talk to my doctor on Monday?
Thanks,
Ron

Hello dear user!
I have gone through your query and understood your concerns!
Thank you for sharing them on healthcaremagic.
Are you taking antibiotics too, for your sinus infection? If you are not taking antibiotics but methylprednisolone only, you might worsen the sinus infection and the nail fungus too. Don't continue taking methylpred pills more than 3 days because of your condition. Continue antibiotic therapy for the sinus infection, and the medication for your fungal infection of the toe. If your toe gets worse due to fungus, please stop the methylpred and talk with your doctor to adjust an appropriate cure of it.
I hope this answer was helpful to you!
