A member asked:

I have bronchitis i may have caught from living in a room with damp in the air. the symptoms have bin for 6 month will 2 weeks of predisolone work?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Don't try: You should not be taking prednisone for 6 months of bronchitis until a doctor has done a complete physical exam, probably x-rays, perhaps sputum culture and is convinced it is not an infection and is a manifestation of asthma .

Dr Juchau and another doctor agreed
