Do I need to take Prednisone for my allergic reaction to go away, or will it do that on its own?

Hi. I’m posting this in hopes it helps someone. This is the second time in my life I broke out in hives. First time was 6 years ago on my upper body (arms stomach chest) and it went away with Benadryl and hydrocortisone after a week. 6 years later, the same breakout but also up to my ears and neck. Took Benadryl 50mg 4x a day and rubbed hydrocortisone for 3 weeks and would not go away, just dry up and eventually come back. Mind you to my knowledge I’m very healthy, no issues. The ER prescribed prednisone twice a day for 4 days. Took first dose today and already feel 100 times better. Appt for dermatology scheduled. They assume it’s eczema but I doubt it. Pretty sure I had an allergic reaction. Will keep you posted.

I have been taking predisposed for two days suppose to take it for five days. I have a medication reaction since September will the predispose work 40 MG in Morin and 30 mg at Night will this stop the itch and will this work period I also take allergy 180mg and benedryl twice a day 75mg

First off, I just wanted to say for all you people that are searching the Internet for relief, if you are experiencing a hive breakout, do not freak out. If your doctor prescribed you prednisone I suggest you take it at all costs. I recently brokeout in hives on my scalp going down my neck and they continued to alternate places whether it be the palms of my hands or the bottom of my feet, not even a steroid shot could help! I went to the er and they prescribed me prednisone and what do you know BAM! My hives were gone in a week and I'm so thankful to have taken that medication! So yes take it! Before your hives get worse. The effects of taking it are only bad if you're on it long term.

I have bad allergies. I was prescribed 20mg of prednisone for 5days. 5 days was the alloted amount of days the ER doctors could prescribe do to the severity of the prednisone. The first day I got relief, not full relief but some relief. my allergies continued to clear up as the other days progressed. I didnt ever reach full relief I am guessing due to the fact that I was only prescribe 5 days of medication. Once I stopped taking the prednisone my all allergies came back. But that neither here nor there, back.yo my point. I had been presvribed prednisone later by another.emergency room doctor. He prescribed me 40 mg. The dose was to high. On the.20 mg I.saw my allergic reaction slowly disappearing. With the 40mg I was drained. It dried me out making the allergy worsen. So maybe (1) 20 mg. pill for 5-10 days will make the allergy.go away. But I stopped taking the 40 mg on the third day when I realized I was haveing no relief. When I was having good relief using the 20mg.

I hope your rash has cleared but if it hasn't I hope you haven't taken the prednisone. I have had such bad reactions to it that I would never take it again, unless I was dying. 40 mg is a pretty big dosage for a rash?
