After going through your query i suggest you to please refer to good physician .
Becuse prednisolone itself cause puffyness in face and body. It also harmfull to body if unnecessary taking it.
As you are in your 50 you should also check your thyroid level which causes of sweeling in whole body. But this chance is less.
In sever allergic condition steriod may be use full with combination of antiallergic.
You should take an antiallergic for your problem and stop prednisolone .
For other help you can refer to good physician.
