Brief Answer:
reduce drug/change medicine

Detailed Answer:
Hi
I will agree that these could be the symptoms of wysolone
However these symptoms usually come by 1 week.
But cases are known where the symptoms occur early

I think you can try two things
1. reduce the dose of wysolone (in consultation with your treating doctor), if the prescription is long
2. change from wysolone to non steroidal antiallergens like anti histamines (in consultation with your treating doctor).

Usually the drug reactions do not last very long unless severe. There is a possibility that the drug reaction has gone, in which case the wysolone could be tapered and stopped.

Best of luck
