My boyfriend got a cortisone shot today to help with body aches related to the flu, and he is experiencing negative side effects. He is extremely hyper, heart racing, tingly feeling in limbs, kind of a load roaring in ears that comes and goes. He experienced similar symptoms when he was prescribed an oral steroid for extreme nasal congestion by his ENT. He is ok, but definitely uncomfortable. What can he do to get the cortisone out of his body as quickly as possible? Does eating or drinking water help, anything else?
