Hello, Mama! How is your daughter?
What dosage are the tablets?
That is a normal dosing protocol for this steroid. It's generally started at a higher dosage, then slowly tapered over several days. It's intended to relieve the inflammation from an allergic reaction. Generally, in a child younger than 11 years old, it should be no more than 60mgs a day at the peak dose.
Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache, insomnia, nervousness and acne.
