Can you take prednisone and amoxcillan at the same time for a chest infection? we're prescribed for something by 2 diffrent drs?

Mgt: Your antibiotics were prescribed for a bacterial infection and the prednisone was most likely prescribed to treat pulmonary inflammation due to the infection. Upon review of your history, your allergies increase your likelihood of wheezing during an illness. If you are wheezing, a bronchodilator should be used.
