Both seems correct. A course of upto 1 week is considered as short course and can be stopped at once. Also it depends on low dose or high dose steroid usage. If your usage is low dose can be stopped at once but if higher dose needed to taper. Means alternate day use and then increase gap to once in 2days and stop. Hope this helps.
