Daughter(shes 1),was sick and i took her to the doc.and they said it was the flu and prescribed prednisolone and now she has diarrhea. is that normal?

Not typical: There are a lot of things not typical of this clinical vignette. Doctors do not usually prescribe prednisolone for the flu, if that was the diagnosis. Also prednisolone does not typically cause diarrhea.
