Hello, Wally! How is he doing?

Was the Prednisone prescribed by his doctor? If so, you should follow the doctor's instructions.

It is a steroid class medication, so it may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and fluid retention, but short term use usually doesn't cause severe problems in most people.

If the child is wheezing, this was probably prescribe to reduce the airway inflammation, but if you're concerned about your child taking it, you should discuss it with the doctor, or your pharmacist.

And no, there are no interactions or problems listed between it and the antibiotic.

Is there anything else I can help with?

I would get a second opinion from a pediatrician.
Dosage appears high
