How long does Prednisolone take to start working?

[CharlieBoo]

18 month old dd has bad chest, wheezy although not really a cough. I took her to Gp last night and he has prescribed 10mg per day of Prednisolone for 7 days. She's had this before last winter in January and it did make a big difference. She only had 3 days worth though. She is quite wheezy and I'm just wandering as I can't really remember how long it took to make a difference last time.
I remember it did really help.

Am quite shocked as her chest has been fine since then and this is quite a big flare up. I think they think she has asthma, but are still saying she is too young to diagnose. I hate it when her chest goes like this as its horrible for her....she hates the inhalers, although they do help.

Thanks for reading

When Ds had pred the other week it was day 4 it really took effect. I think it depends on the severity of the case though as I know they sometimes just give one dose now and that's all that is needed.

I know what you mean about the inhalers Ds has gone from loving them to fighting it - I'm hoping it's just a phase!

Hope she is better soon
