What Are The Side Effects Of Taking Prednisone?

I notices a change in one side of my face and the eye on that side seem to be samller than the other one. it is now more than 10 days now. The eye is not as samll now, almost the same size of the other one. I saw my doctor two days ago, she prescribed prednisone 10 mg. I am really scared to to take it after reading the side effects. I have read that Bell s Palsy may cure by itself. Do you think I sould take this medicine?

If taken in the right amount wont cause any problem. consult your doctor again if doubts.
Prednisolone is a steroid and excessive use of it may harm the body.
