question: I need a recommendations for a prednisone suppression dosing schedule for my severe allerigic rhinitis. I have had to resort to this before when my dust mite allergy gets out of control and i can't lay down because i cough incessantly. I'm an anesthesiologist and have some prednisone at home but don't remember the schedule. I'm already on allergy shots, nasal steroid spray (doesn't work) and allegra. I'll call my allergist when i can but it's 4 am and my throat is killing me from coughing and my epiglottis feels like it's swelling. I need to start steroids now. Thanks!  Dr. Vandenbrook, M.D.
