How can i tell if my child is having an allergic reaction to prelone (prednisolone) syrup or if his hives from before are just getting worse?

Hives just worse: Prelone (prednisolone) is a med that mimics the stress hormone your body makes to stabilize membranes & stop allergic reactions. It is often give as an oral med to patients who would not like the alternative.A deep intramuscular injection would start working faster to slow the reaction.The oral takes some time to kick in so its common for a reaction to get a bit worse before improving.

Reaction to steroid: There is no way to be certain, but the likelihood leans toward uncontrolled hives. Hives tend to worsen late in the day because of our own biorhythms , and Prelone (prednisolone) only lasts a certain number of hours anyway. It takes at least four hours for Prelone (prednisolone) or any other steroid to start helping, as well. So, it depends on when the Prelone (prednisolone) was taken. Usually one would take antihistamines also.
