When you can keep a small amount of water down successfully… just try sipping it and see if okay - then take just enough to get the Pred taken.
Hope you soon feel better….

If you CAN'T keep the pred down for at least an hour, you may need to get your GP to help, either with antiemetics or a hydrocortisone shot.
I found that if I ate two dry biscuits about half an hour before the antibiotics that made me sick, & had a drink, then I was just a bit nauseous & not actually sick!!
If it's ongoing, I got round the sickness caused by antibiotics by taking an anti emetic, which the GP prescribed.
Not what you're looking for?
