[|Human|] I have a upper respiratory viral infection with a bad cough and was prescribed Prednisone and Benzonatate for my bad cough. I, also, have a red area on my tougue that I am taking NYStatin Oral Suspension USP. Is it okay to take all of this together? I read online that if you have a fungal infection that you should not take Prednisone.
[|AI|]  Thanks for asking your question completely understand your question the problem you are suffering with is upper respiratory tract infection.no need of taking steroids. You just need an antibiotic course that too for a week like lifetime and best thing that will work is having steam inhalation three times a day. That oral solution is fine consulting a pulmonologist would be a better option he can request for a sputum culture by which causative organism can be traced, and accordingly the best medication can be started viral upper respiratory infections will resolve by themselves with in a week if you have yellow sputum then u need to take these antibiotics' prednisolone should not be taken in this kind of urtibetter if u consult a pulmonologistthanks/ regards feel free to ask more questions may god bless your family with good health
