A member asked:
Why is prednisone prescribed for pharyngitis. got 10mg, 2x's 4 days. should i worry about cortisol, or anxiety side effects?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No need but harmless: Such treatment is controversial. Prednisone is commonly prescribed by some physicians but with no solid scientific data that it helps. However, in this dose and duration, it is harmless, without anxiety or any other significant side effects.
