Suggest Dosage For Prednisone

I have an RX for prednisone my dr prescribed for head cold symptoms. The label reads Take 3 tablets daily x 3 days, 2 tablets daily x3 days, then 1 tablet x 3 days. Do I take 3 tabs all together for the first 3 days, or spread them out throughout the day?

Hello,
You have to take all the three tablets together. Do not spread the doses throughout the day. Also steam inhalation about three times a day should help. I also recommend warm fluids (green tea, lemon tea etc.).
Take care. Be well.
