Good day and thanks for your question. Use the medications as prescribed. Yes there would be a decrease in the symptoms once you start taking your drug and yes it is safe to stop after 5 days of treatment because prednisone is used for short periods. If symptoms doesn't get better, kindly visit your doctor.
You can add Loratadine 10mg daily to the treatment for about 5 days too.
Hope it helps. Thank you
