Hi, yes prednosolone is a steroid and on its prolonged usage can cause adrenal failure.
But it is not liberal y used just to treat nasal congestion and cold symptoms.
There are so many anti histamine and decongestant to treat cold. Maybe you had the severe form of allergy and
Bronchitis, thats why you were treated by steroids.
