How To Treat Paralyzed Diaphragm And Mild Pain In Back Despite Taking Prednisone For Asthma?

I have asthma, a right paralyzed diaphragm and have been on months of predisone steroids for inflammation.My mid back has a dull ache and I have extreme bad breath when I yawn or cough (brushing does not help).I have a uti I am taking antibiotics for as well. I was wondering if perhaps the doctor s could be missing something or is this all part of asthma. I have had several severe attacks and they seem to drain my energy and create fatigue.Thanks,Lorrie My age is 53

Hi,

It's best to consult with a doctor for a comprehensive evaluation and diagnosis. However, some possible causes of your symptoms could be due to underlying medical conditions (asthma, paralyzed diaphragm, and UTI) and the side effects of prednisone steroids. Various factors can cause fatigue and bad breath, and your doctor will consider all relevant information to determine the cause and appropriate treatment.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Priyanka, General & Family Physician
