Can ask prescriber: Usually, a person who is on corticosteroids rarely, such as if this case was not more than a once per year occurrence, then a 1-5 day course of steroids like prednisone or prednisolone usually does not have to be tapered. That means a person can stop after one day if needing to stop. However, each patient is different and this is a public non-advice form, so one must discuss with the prescriber.
