Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic. I can understand your concern. Yes, your fear is right. Prednisone is oral steroid. Steroid drugs are usually contraindicated in infection. Because they lower down the immunity and may actually flare up the existing infection. So better not to take prednisone. Inhalers are fine for wheezing. No harm in taking inhalers. Treatment of pneumonia should be guided according to the organism. So get done sputum culture and sensitivity report. Culture report will isolate the causative organism and sensitivity report will guide you about effective antibiotic treatment. So at present, avoid prednisone and continue amoxicillin. If not improving then consult pulmonologist and get done culture report. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
