Hello, Niya! How are you?

Prednisone is a steroid class medication and, in such cases, it is used to help alleviate the swelling of the sinuses that can occur with a sinus infection, to enable you to breath easier. Typical side effects may include nausea, dizziness, elevated heart rate, weight gain, fluid retention and insomnia.

Is there anything else I can help with?
