What causes tingling in arms of a child on Prednisone?
Patient: My 11 year old son just started prednisone for an asthma flare today. He is having tingling in his arms and legs. This happened the last couple of times he s been on a short course of prednisone. I thought it was a normal side effect, but just read it is one that warrants an immediate call to the doctor. Is it normal? Doctor: hi..prednisalone causes peripheral neuritis on chronic use not with one day use. in your child the prednisalone started today only, so this may not be the cause for tingling sensation. use one week of B complex syrup, if does not subside consult your pediatrician for further work up and management.if you are happy with my answer kindly rate me.regards-Dr.Surendra.H.s
