Dr. Franklyn Gergits answered

Specializes in ENT and Head and Neck Surgery

Asthma: Hello, your wheezing and asthma may still not be optimally controlled. There are many doses and schedules for taking prednisone. Inhalers are primary medications and usually a better option for treatment. Follow up with your doctor for a recheck. Hope this helps.
