Hi,
First of all, you should mention the dosage form of prednisolone. If she has a swollen face then go for methyl Prednisolone starting 1/2 a tablet per day. When she doesn't get any side effects then increase to full tablet. Mention your mother's age too.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
