See your doctor: Please have follow up with whoever prescribed a steroid in Hailer. I’m wondering if this is really due to a cold or if you have underlying chronic bronchitis or asthma. Are you a smoker? Have you had a lot of secondhand smoke exposure? Do you have a history of asthma or TB or any chronic lung problems?
