Can COPD Be Treated With Prednisone And Vizimox?

I have COPD. I bought some prednisona 50mg recently in Mexico. I woke up very congested and coughing this. My doctor always prescribes prednisone and antibiotics for me. I also bought some Vizimox 500mg. Just wanted to check before I took them and how often I need to take them! Thanks!
