Posted on Wed, 8 Apr 2020
Question: hi there

i have been suffering a burning gassy like sensation in the back of the throat and mouth the past week or so and on my tongue, i had acid reflux the other night aswell and last week i was on prednisolone tablets which i was meant to be on it for 5 days one tablet a day 25mg but i only took it for 2 days as it gave bad side affects but on the second day i only took half a tablet. and i also read that it can give u withdrawal symptons after u stop taking it but can that happen just after 2 days? i been getting anxiety and body aches aswell plus heart palpatations etc including the sensation in my throat could all this be caused from that medication or something else going on in my body, im very worried.

Brief Answer:
Can't be much related to prednisolone intake.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor's service.
I read your query and here is my advice.
I don't think the side effects are caused by withdrawal effects of taking prednisolone effects because you took it only for two days and the second day you took a lower dosage.
I believe that the the throat and mouth pain and gassy sensation may be related to reflux such Pepto bismol.
You may take antiacids to lower the acidity, sleep with elevated head with pillows, eat at least 3 hours before sleep.
The palpitations and body aches may be due to anxiety. Taking vitamin B complex supplements and magnesium may be advisable.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
