A member asked:
Does an 8 y.o boy who's taking prednisolone 3mg/day need a stress dose during surgery? does the risk during surgery increase the longer he's on medication?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The dose is not high, and a cortisol level may be ordered prior to surgery. Discuss with your PCP and surgeon. The type and duration of the surgery is important to consider.
