Dear you may be suffering acute viral infection may cause viral pharyngitis with bronchitis. No need to use steroids until you feel dysnea or breathless Ness. Just use antibiotics and bronchodilators and expectorents. Be patience why because this infection due to viral may take 7-14 days. So don't be aggressive about it. I think I answered to your question if you have more questions please feel free to ask.
Take care
