7-year-old child with recurrent nephrotic syndrome

Patient's question:

At the beginning of this year, I was diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome. After taking prednisone for a week, the protein in my urine turned negative. Then, I continued taking prednisone. When the prednisone was reduced to half a tablet, the child's tonsillitis caused the protein in the urine to become three plus.

Doctor's answer:
