Use of steroids for 10 days wont put you at risk of grave adverse effects.
If any symptoms of weakness/myalgia/infections, consider consultation.

There are no particular tests to find immunity levels. However you can do CBC TEST, just to be sure that your WBC AND PLATELET levels are in normal range. Taking 10 days steroid won’t put a great effect on your immunity. So relax and just take proper diet and nutritious food.
Next Steps
In case you feel weak or any symptoms appear consult a doctor.
