What Is The Dosage For Prednisolone?
my daughter having Wt. 19kg is getting urticaria-skin rash all over the body since 7 days, not responding to anithistaminics e.g. atarax 3.5ml BD and steroid deflazacort which has been given for 4 days. I have to start new oral steroid e.g. Prednisolone (omnacortil). How much dose i have to give and for how many days?

HI
Well come to HCM
Giving steroid for urticarial rash is not advisable in this age group if antihistamine is not working well then this can be changed to other group antihistamine, in my opinion the condition can be treated with Tab Levocetrizine 2.5 mg tree times in day, hope this information helps.
