Bronchitis & asthma on prednisne antibiotic & neb peak flow from 600 to 390 after week back to 500. should i see pulmonologist not pcp for asthma?

Depends: It depends how often you develop exacerbations requiring oral steroids, if it happens frequently, i would definitely see a specialist, either an allergist or a pulmonologist can take care of your asthma.
