Is Cortizone, Helpful For Asthma With Mucus?

Hi, thank you for your help. I got a bad cold and the mucus increased to such a level that it's causing me almost to chock. I suffer of asthma for many years, close to 30. Now I am under this cold and desperate, I haven't been able to lay down for about 2 weeks. Would cortizone help me clear while under this condition?

Hi,
Welcome to health care magic,
Asthma is a allergic disease occurs as a result of exposure to cold,dust,smoke,pollens or grass.
Here,treatment is mainly symptommatic which includes inhalational steroids which actually causes bronchodilatation and relives from the symptoms of acute breathing difficulty.
Also,corticosteroids tend to decrease the inflammation of bronchi and bronchioles with other drugs like antihistamines and mast cell stabilizers.
So,by this means cortisone will certainly going to help to relieve from asthmatic attacks and will also reduce mucus by causing bronchodilatation.
Thanks
