Help! Quick serious question! Should I listen to the doctor?

So I was on Minocycline and i had an allergic reaction to it which landed me in the hospital. The doctor prescribed a steroid called prednisone for 5 days, but my mom doesn't want to pick up the prescription cause she doesn't feel safe having me on it.

Will i be fine without it, or should we listen to the doctor and go get it?

    Prednisone is what you give people for severe ALLERGIES that do not respond to antihistamines such as Benadryl.

    LISTEN TO THE DOCTOR.

    You need to get it. This is not like anabolic steroids. This jump starts your immune system and benefits you. Your body will heal faster and better. 5 days on this won't hurt you. I had to take it for ten years!
