Hi, Thanks for using the HCM.
Hi for the pain you can take some mild analgesic. For your asthma management you can ask your doctor to start LTRA (plain montelukast sodium) along with prednisone.combination ll have better effect and can reduce the dose of steroid gradually(according to Guidelines). This will reduce inflammatory pathways & prevent further damage. You have to continue taking salbutamol as and when required.
Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help. Thanks get well soon....
