I've been taking Evion for a liver infection, just like I did two years ago for about a month, and didn't have any issues back then. But this time, after starting Evion again, I've been getting headaches for a couple of days. Once I stopped, the headaches went away. Why would Evion cause headaches now when it didn't before?

Short-Term Wysolone (Prednisolone) Use: Immune System Impact

Wysolone 20mg for 6 days:

1. Immune system suppression: Prednisolone can weaken the immune system, making you more susceptible to infections.

   • Mood changes
   • Insomnia
   • Increased appetite
   • Water retention

Infection risk:

1. Increased risk: Yes, taking Wysolone for 6 days can increase your risk of developing infections, particularly:
   • Respiratory infections
   • Urinary tract infections
   • Skin infections
2. Duration of increased risk: The risk of infection may persist for several weeks after stopping Wysolone.

Recovery of immunity:

1. Timeframe: Immune function typically recovers within 2-4 weeks after stopping Wysolone.
2. Supporting immune recovery: To help your immune system recover:
   • Get plenty of rest
