Immunity after steroids
My mother took steroids for covid for 20 days, (32 mg medrol for 5 days, 16 mg next 5, tapered in another 10 days) how long do effects of steroids last on immune system? How long is full recovery? Her lymphocyte percentage is 34.9 and lymphocytes absolute count is 1.75 after 3 weeks of steroids.
