Hello,
The steroid in the methylpred pack can cause dizziness, abdominal pain and headache but it should not cause a fever. You may need to stop the steroid so that it can clear out of your body. Make sure you are drinking lots of water and be careful not to fall while you are feeling so dizzy. If this does not resolve in a few days off the steroid see your doctor again.
