Bttrfly1 Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 My son had been fighting a cold virus which seems to have triggered some tics. His dr prescribed a steroid burst but today his symptoms seem a little better. What will steroids do and should I watch and wait until symptoms are worse? I'm so scared for him / will steroids prevent another flare? He had ivig in June. Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobh Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 Steroids can help, but some have reported symptoms getting a little worse first before they got better. My own experience is that they didn't do anything - so that is also a possibility. I don't think steroids will prevent another flare in the long term, because they are typically only administered for the short term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
