Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have gone through your medical history and I think your case is considered emergency. For this, I highly advise to go to ER for immediate evaluations and treatment and to determine the:
- severity of dehydration from diarrhea
- the grade of inflammation
- evaluation of anemia
With regards to prednisolon use, it is advised the dose of 60 mg; while I also advise to start mesalazin.
