what would a doctor prescribe prednisone for
Prednisone also works to suppress your immune system. Your doctor may prescribe prednisone to treat a number of conditions, including an allergic reaction and certain skin, intestine, blood, eye, nervous system, kidney, and lung conditions.
Perhaps your doc prescribed prednisone to reduce the swelling in your ears. It seems to be the wonder drug of choice these days and in my opinion, over prescribed. I'm hoping he just wants you to take it for a short time. It can be hard to get off of, and can cause all kinds of problems when taken long term.
