Hello,
Regarding your symptoms you should take coricidin, but based on your asthma attack I think you need a physical examination( pulmonary auscultation, O2 saturation) by a pneumologist and chest radiography to exclude some pulmonary pathology. You should be aware taking prednisolon can have a impact in glycemia so you need a consult with your doctor.
I hope my answer help you. Let me know if I can assist you further.
