TMZ reported that singer, mother and reality show star Tamar Braxton started feeling ill earlier this week while promoting her new album, “Bluebird of Happiness,” in New York. She bowed out of several public appearances because she could barely speak, prompting her to see an ear, nose and throat doctor.
She was prescribed Prednisone, a steroid for her throat, but her body had a horrible reaction and swelled up. The swelling was so severe once she returned to L.A. she was rushed to the ER on Wednesday night.
Prednisone is a corticosteroid. It prevents the release of substances in the body that cause inflammation. It also suppresses the immune system. Because it can weaken your immune system, Prednisone can make it easier for you to get an infection or worsen an existing infection you already have or have recently had.
Prednisone treats many different conditions such as allergic disorders, skin conditions, ulcerative colitis, arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, or breathing disorders.
