question: We are away in Australia and at the weekend we were with friends and ate a lot of seafood. I have never had an allergic reaction to seafood before however, for the last four days I have been itching all over my body. Also the day before yesterday I had flu like symptoms, feeling cold and shivery. These symptoms have now gone but the itching is still there. I went to see a doctor who has prescribed Prednisolone 50mg for three days then 25 for two days 12.5 for two days and 6 mg for one day. Looking online this seems a very high dosage! I am thinking I d start with 25 rather than 50 what is your advice?
