? After 5th day. It doesn't make sense.  Is there any typing error. You need to stop medrol. But there are a few factors. Need details like for how many days you are taking medrol. Decision will depend up on that. Otherwise trust your doctor and follow the previous advice. I don't know why it was prescribed to you. Mild disease is not treated with steroids.
Next Steps
As a doctor we can review your medication history and advice will depend upon that. So consult asap
