How Far Apart Should Two Dosages Of Prednisone Be Taken?
Hi - Today I was prescribed prednisone 2 tablets per day 20 mg for Laryngitis with difficulty swallowing. I took the first dose at 9:00am this morning and it opened up my throat so i can swallow without any pain. It’s 2:45am EST now and now my throat is very sore and it’s hard to swallow again. Would I be able to take the next set of prednisone now?
