Could someone explain why while having MNI(infectious mononucleosis) it is not recommended to take steroid anti-inflammatory like cortisone(Solupred). What could be the effect?
I took solupred 20mg (2x in the morning and 1 in the afternoon) because the doctor didn't realise that I have MNI. I took it for 3 day(since 06 october) and the next morning(like 60mg * 3 40 mg) when I stopped since no effect.
I knew that my MNI was in convalescence on 14 nov
Now I'm feeling some pain in the abdomen like a mild burn and another one on the right side.
The exam I had where about 1 month after taking Solupred and the liver was ok:
Transaminases SGOT 21
Transaminases SGPT 18
Gamma glutamyl Transpeptidase 20

Another problem is what is the probability of getting Hodgkin's Disease since I'v heard that is more commun in people after having MNI. Is it possible that using Steroid anti-inflammatory like Solupred 20mg in high doses to have more chances of getting Hodgkin's Disease?

I'm am really worried.
Thx
