A member asked:
Last day of predensone for asthma flare and i'm still wheezing and coughing. should i ask about being admitted for iv steriods?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Asthma Flare: Sounds like you are asthma exacerbation has not improved despite the course of oral steroids. If you continue to have symptoms despite prednisone course and frequent albuterol doses then going to the ER is unfortunately the next best step. Talk with your asthma doctor if you are concerned and need more aggressive treatment. Feel better.
