Hi,
Yes... short course of steroids like prednisolone are absolutely safe. Even, this much amount of steroids is being physiologically produced by the body. But...keep it post meals only to avoid hyperacidity and gastric ulcers.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
