A 39-year-old patient presents with sudden onset hearing loss in the right ear, noticed 67 hours ago. Hearing in that ear was unchanged before this change. Otoscopic examination shows unobstructed external auditory canals and the right tympanic membrane appears mildly retracted but intact. Tuning fork testing demonstrates that sound is heard louder in the right ear when the fork is placed on the forehead, and air conduction is worse than bone conduction in the right ear. The patient denies dizziness, otalgia, vertigo, tinnitus, or focal neurologic symptoms. The patient reports mild nasal congestion. Vital signs are normal. What is the best management at this time?
