General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

The symptoms seem to be related to the use of Prednisone.

I recommend to use a PPI medication such as Omeprazole.

If the symptoms continue I suggest to consult your doctor about an alternative medication.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
