My doctor prescribed me Drosis XT deflazacort 30mg and tamsulosin 0.4mg twice a day for 10 days along with other meds for kidney stones. Is taking 30mg of steroid twice a day safe for kidney stones? Are steroids usually given for this issue? Will the stones not pass without steroids?

I've been going to the bathroom a lot after getting my first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, and I also had a fever last night. I spent the entire night having to urinate every half hour. I'm really worriedis this a side effect of the vaccine or could it be something else?

Frequent urination after a COVID-19 vaccine isn't a common side effect, but the fever you experienced might have triggered increased urination due to fluid intake or changes in your body's response. If this continues or worsens, it's a good idea to consult a doctor to rule out any underlying issues.
