Could the numbness and tingling I am experiencing on the right side of my face, head, and hand, along with nausea and weakness, be a side effect of the steroid Prednisolone, which was recently increased to 40 mg once a day while I am also taking Augmentin and a salbutamol inhaler for an ongoing cough?
While prednisolone can sometimes cause nausea or general weakness, one-sided numbness and tingling in your face, head, and hand are not typical side effects of prednisolone, Augmentin, or your salbutamol inhaler. Because these symptoms affect only the right side of your body, it is very important to get them checked immediately. Please seek urgent medical care or go to the nearest emergency department right away to rule out any serious neurological issues.
