Hello
Dexona is a steroid and giving it daily without any diagnosis is not only bad but very dangerous also.
What else can be expected from a quack.
You must make arrangement so that your grandfather is seen by a qualified doctor,get required investigations and then proceed ahead with the treatment.
Old age doesn't mean that your grand father is left at the mercy of a quack.
Thanks
