Normal: Increased sweating is a very common side effect of the steroid. It will clear up quickly when he finished the med. He may also start eating you out of house and home the next few days - "i'm hungry" from dawn until dusk! finally, be a bit more tolerant of behavioral/moodiness. Some of the kids have temper outbursts, hit and bite, etc. These are also due to the steroids and will disappear when done.
