Had prednisone but still very wheezy tight chest have started coughing up phlegm and blood what should i do?

Chest xray: I would recommend a chest xray if not done the addition of a long acting bronchodilator of the cholinergic class especially if you are using your ventolin correctly at least 4 times daily. Occasionally nebulized albuterol is more effective in acute cases.
