Hi dear.

I understand your concern.

Prednisolone is steroid and it usually not indicated in dizziness.

Eye swelling is due to inflammation and Prednisolone can reduced it but one should use it for shorter period.

So take your doctors advise to continue it or not.

But it is not advisable to take it for a long time.

Still if you have a query then feel free to ask.

Happy to help you further.

Thank you.
