Suggest Medication For Asthma
I’m asthmatic. I’ve been sick since Friday with an URI. Started prednisone yesterday 60 mg. Also today 60 mg. Using my nebulizer every 3 hour. Still wheezing. O2 at 93 now. Was hospitalized in September with my asthma. Do I need to go to the ER?

Hi,
Thank you for your query . I have read your query and understood your concerns .
You are taking prednisolone and nebulization that is perfectly fine.
If you are having fever I would like to start you on oral antibiotics .
I would like to suggest that if your wheezing don't subside in a day or two or if your oxygen saturation falls even more ( below 90 %) please visit the emergency room immediately.
I hope I have addressed your concern well .If satisfied please close this query with a good rating.
Thank you
wish you a speedy recovery and good health
