Hello,
These are the usual and routine side effects of oral consumption of side effects.
Steroids are known to cause gastrointestinal problems like acute gastritis.
These can be minimised by taking prednisolone immediately after food.
Take a proton pump inhibitor like PANTOPROZOLE 40 mg once a day in morning on empty stomach.
Drink plenty of water.
Take antacid syrup like mucaine gel 10 ml three times a day after meals.
Your symptoms shall subside substantially.
Thanks
