3 days only on prednisone for asthma - 40mg, 20 mg then 10mg.feel sinus pain and fullness one side.could prednisone cause sinus infection? fungal?

Not likely: Steroids put you at risk for infections but don't cause them. I doubt just taking 3 doses of prednisone would put you at any significant risk.
