Revisit ER or ur MD: You need to be re-evaluated, another round of steroids or other meds may be needed.

See your own doctor.: You should see your own doctor. You should feel better if you finished the steroid course. If you are still needing your inhaler every 4 hours and feeling tightness and pain, you may need a different kind of inhaler or an x-ray, but first you should be re-examined.
