Always follow your doctor’s precise instructions regarding dosage and administration. Never adjust the dose yourself. Give Prednisone exactly as prescribed.
Mix liquid Prednisone with a small amount of your toddler’s favorite food or drink, like applesauce or milk, to mask the taste. Avoid mixing with acidic foods or drinks, which may impact absorption. Offer it using a syringe or medication cup for accurate dosing.
Monitoring Your Toddler
Closely monitor your child for side effects, including increased appetite, weight gain, mood changes, and difficulty sleeping. Report any unusual symptoms to your pediatrician immediately. Regularly weigh your toddler to track potential weight changes.
Important Considerations & Medication Schedule
Prednisone often needs to be given at the same time each day to maintain consistent levels in your child’s system. Establish a routine to ensure consistent administration. Avoid suddenly stopping the medication; your doctor will guide you on a safe tapering schedule to prevent withdrawal symptoms.

Storage
Store Prednisone as directed on the label, typically at room temperature away from moisture and heat. Keep it out of your toddler’s reach. Dispose of expired medication properly according to your pharmacist’s instructions.
