A member asked:
Have allergic reaction rash was given prednisone to take 60mg a day for 3 days, this seems like a lot. do i need it or will they go away on their own?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
High dose: There is no one correct dose for oral steroids, but most clinicians would dose according to the severity of the allergy or that particular person's previous response to oral steroids. 60 mg of prednisone is a high dose for some rashes such as hives but may be necessary for generalized allergic reaction like anaphylaxis. IDouble check with doctor to make sure that is the correct dose.
