[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, you should consult pulmonologist and get done chest x-ray and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). You are having recurrent chest infection and cough. This can be due to pneumonia or bronchitis or asthma. And oral steroids should not be used routinely. So better to avoid it. Chest x-ray is needed to rule out pneumonia. PFT is needed to rule out bronchitis and asthma. So better to first diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment. No need to take oral steroid and antibiotic without proper diagnosis. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.
