Prednisolone advice please

[cheeseandjam]

Dd in out of hours with a viral wheeze and horrible cough. Dr decidided to prescribe prednisolone but told us to start straight away rather than wait until morning to try and get a better night. I know the advice is to take in morning. Surely we have to leave another 24 hours before taking again so she will take each dose at night now? Dh thinks we should give again this morning. Thoughts please.

totally non medical but i assume it is a low dose? in which case i would v happily give it again within less than a 24 hr period. it is only advised to give in the morning, not obligatory

DS has regulary been given pred in a and e in the early hours and then again in the morning on the ward
