A member asked:

Could a small dose of prednisone, given one time, cause an 11 yr old girl to have side effects for 2 months?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: You do not mention the specific side effects but i strongly doubt any side effects from a single small dose of Prednisone to be significant.
