I'm a bit worried about taking wysolone 20 mg for six days. Will it mess with my immunity or the normal functioning of my body? Could this dose make me more susceptible to infections? If so, how long would it take for my immune system to bounce back, and is there anything I can do to help it recover? I don't have any previous underlying health issues.

I'm curious if the joint pain I'm experiencing now could be related to my low platelet issue from 4 to 5 weeks ago. Everything else feels pretty good, but this pain is bothering me. What could be the cause?
not related to low platelets
