Have uri taking 2nd round of antibotics. i am also taking proair, steriods for asthma, but temp is worse does this mean i am getting worse.

Possibly: It can mean you are getting worse. It can also mean you are dehydrated. See if your urine is dark. You want light urine. Your body acts like an evaporative cooler (no water on the pads= no cooling) you may also be using the inhaler wrong. At least half of my patients use the inhale wrong until i train them.
