Question about Prednisone and no tapering?

OP I don’t think you have to worry because it’s such a short time. You should be OK

DS was on large doses of dexamethosone for 8 months. I could hardly bear to watch the tapering:guilty:
 
My son is severe asthmatic. Anytime he has taken prednisone for more than 5 days it is tapered. 5 days never. I guess there is a magic cut off for how many days you take it. It has been awhile since he has had to take any, possibly 2 years so I don't remember the exact dosage. But yes, he has taken 5 day courses with no tapering but once it was upped to 10 it was always tapered.

This is our experience too. My son took it for a month once, and had to taper. Another doctor gave him a 5 day course before for a SEVERE and I mean SEVERE sore throat. No taper needed.
 


I was about to answer this, since I am a physician, but, I won't because it was from 8 years ago.
