Hi welcome to the health care magic

You are suffering from acute asthma exacerbation..

I need to know your CBC report and spirometry if done for further comment

You are just now on best anti-inflammatory drug that is methyprednisolone, so complete all prescribed medication for 5 to 7 days as per prescribed duration

If your asthma not improving then nebulization with levosalbutamol and budesonide can be done for two times a day for three days

After Symptomatic relief you are advised to consult allergy specialist to investigate with allergy testing like patch test to found source of allergen

Daily take peak flow reading at home by using peak flow meter to monitor disease severity

Hope I have solved your query

Take care
