A member asked:
My 6 y.o. son was given prednisolone 7.5 mg for coughing and wheezing. he is now breathing really harder and faster. should i be concerned.

Yes, go to ER.: We need to know whether your son has asthma. If he does, this likely means his asthma is getting worse and needs immediate attention. Even if he does not have asthma, having breathing problem is a serious matter and I believe an ER visit is in order.
