how long does it take for a methylprednisolone injection to take effect? i got it 30 hours ago for an ear infection. they have an cortisporin ear drop waiting for me at the pharmacy. should i pick it up now or give the infection more time to work?
what kind of ear infection? the only one that may benefit from an injection of a potent steroid would be an inner ear infection (dizzy vertigo vomiting etc. ). cortisporin eardrops will only help otitis externa (swimmer's ear). since i don't know the reason for the steroid the type or severity of your ear infection ther is really no way to predict when (or even "if") this treatment will work.
