Doctor prescribed me prednisone 20 mg while I have Lyme disease?

I just finished my second round of doxycycline for my Lyme disease diagnosis, and my doctor prescribed me 20 milligrams of prednisone because my symptoms have not improved at all after the second round of antibiotics. But I have been reading on Google that prednisone can be very bad for Lyme disease, so I am not too sure what to think or what to say. He said it is a steroid taper and told me to stop taking one of my other medications. The other medication he told me to stop taking fully and take in halves is Allopurinal, has anybody else had experience with Lyme disease and prednisone? I'm not too sure what to do or what to say to my doctor.
