Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. Prednisone is a corticosteroid anti information drug. It works suppressing immune system response and reducing Inflammation. It lowers immune response so the body is more likely to get infected from bacteria. Hope I have answered your questions. Let me know if I can assist you further.
