Prednisone for allergies?
Has anyone had to get a prednisone injection because of severe seasonal allergies? Were you prescribed 40mg tablets for 10 days as well? Isn’t it dangerous to take prednisone?

Steroids shut down your immune system but don t treat the underlying problem ie an overactive immune system
There are alternatives to steroids - GABA , CBD oil, chlorella

It is much more dangerous to risk another anaphylactic reaction. The 10 day short course of corticosteroid is less likely to do damage than if you had to take this medicine long term. Yes, there are side effects that you need to be aware of, but considering the alternative (death), its a small price to pay. Personally, I've had several episodes of anaphylaxis where corticosteroids saved my life, so I am just happy that this medicine exists. If you still have serious doubts about taking it, let your doctor know.

It is not dangerous as a short term treatment like this.
It can be dangerous for long term use.
