French term or phrase: antibiocortisonique
As in Traitement antibio... Should I break it up as antibiotics + cortisone? Antibiotics + steroids? What?

English translation:"Antibiotic and cortisonic treatment" or "antibiotic and cortisone treatment" or "antibiocortisonic"
Explanation:
Here are a couple of examples, taken from the site below:

"In the ICU the patient's hydroelectrolytic equilibrium was restored and he was subjected to hyperbaric oxygenotherapy sessions, antibiotic and cortisone treatment, and total parenteral nutrition (TPN) by a central venous route (right vena subelavia)."

and "The patient was given cortisonic, systemic and local treatment"

I would take the words "antibiotic" and "cortisonic" separately. But of course, you could always do as the francophones and combine the two to give "antibiocortisonic treatment"
