Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to the side-effects of Prednisone medication.
The symptoms usually go away on its own in a few days.
If the symptoms continue I suggest you stop the medication and consult your doctor about an alternative medication.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
