It’s very hard to stay considering you haven’t stated the whole history of the patient ! But steroids are given when there is widespread systemic or a massive local inflammation caused due to the infection ! Steroids helps reducing the same ! The antibiotics only gets rid of the bacteria causing the same and sometimes that’s not enough and the inflammation causes widespread damage !
