I would think the steriods would reduce the swelling and irritation and help him keep his food down.
We talked about steriods and she was willing to do a trial of steriods if I wanted but she was afraid that they could do as much damage as good. She said that with his severe vomiting problems, there was a possibility that the steriods could actually just irritate him even more and cause him to get an ulcer or have diarrhea - I decided to just give it some more time - not make it worse than just the vomiting.
