It helps but once the prednizone is out of my system, 10-12 days after it repeats itself...infection....then prednizone then its an ongoing thing that occurs all the time...need help or a suggestion in what to do, tried everything for my sinus but my specialist told me that there is nothing to do this is a desease,,,,qestion would be is it possible for a person to take a small dose of prednizone everyday?

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Sure, you can take far smaller dosages than 50 mg of Prednisolone.

With the history of repeated (?) infections I would advise you the following:
First of all get CT scans of the Sinuses and the Chest with contrast to get an exact diagnosis of the lung disease and to get an appropriate diagnosis.

It is possible that you are suffering from an allergic problem or fibrotic diseases.
Polyposis can be operated and may not recur at all.

I hope this answer helps you.
