Having moon face and belly blated

Question

Asked for Male, 25 Years

I was diagnosed with MCD and acute tubular necrosis in the month of february. Taking prednisolone 60 mg from then (feb 20 around) and recently started reducing dosage. Now on 40mg and doc asked to reduce by 10mg every week. from past 3 weeks I got this face swelling and now my belly is bloating even i eat less. This face sweling is disturbing me badly and plz let me know how can I reduce this? I heard this is side effect of prednisolone. Is there any medicine to reduce this side effect? After stopping the medication, how many days will it take for my face to come back to normal? I study in IIM and greatly concerned on my looks. My parents are also worrying by seeing this large face of mine.
