Brief Answer:
A week wthout amelioration deserves a review from your doctor

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for the query,

Taking the prescribed drugs for a week without getting better deserves a reevaluation by your doctor.

Other factors not related to drugs like keeping warm or avoiding environments that irritate you or aggravate breathing could be helpful.

Your doctor might simple need to change a drug or increase the doses of steroid/or duration depending on your clinical presentation.

I think a week is too much for you not to get better. I agree with you that you will have to see your doctor for reevaluation. A chest X ray might be helpful at some point.

Thanks and kind regards as I wish you the best of health.

Dr Bain

Thanks and kind regards
