A member asked:
About how long does it take a 7 years old child's immune system to recover from high doses of predisone?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: A short few days has little effect on their immune system while several weeks or months will. You are welcome to start over and be specific about the dose/type of med/ weight of the kid & duration of treatment so the question can focus on your specific case.
