Toothache pain
My mother has been experiencing severe tooth pain for the past four days due to a cavity in her wisdom teeth. She purchased some medication from a local pharmacy, namely Cefixime 200, Aldigesic SP, and Prednisolone 10 mg. She has been taking these medications for the past three days. However, she was unaware that Prednisolone is a steroid, and the shopkeeper did not inform her either. She has taken a total of 5 tablets of Prednisolone, consuming 2 tablets per day for the last two days and 1 tablet yesterday. So please let me know, can she stop the prednisolone tab now? She visited a dentist today and had her damaged tooth extracted. They provided her with another antibiotic and painkiller for it.

Talk to experienced doctor online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
I would advise not to mix different antibiotics and painkillers without consulting your doctor.
Regarding Prednisolone, you can stop it gradually. If you are taking 2 tablets daily until today, take 1 tablet tomorrow and then completely stop it the day after.
Next Steps
Consult a General Physician.
