[|Human|] Yes hello Dr. I was treated for acute bronchitis asthma at the ER I took a zpac a week before but I never rest. they put me on prednisone 40 mgs once a day. I worked out today but did not do a lot of cardio five minutes. I feel worse tonite. I have three more days left to finish my prednisone. I had to get ear drops today because my left ear was hurting and my whole head was clogged. I also have a touch of asthma. How can I get rid of this my lungs hurt! I am tired of suffering I have had this for almost 2 1/2 weeks! Going on 3! I make nutribullet drinks every morning with spinache oranges and pineapple and ginger. I feel that I cannot get rid of this and also the prednisone keeps me up at night. I am not getting my proper rest. What else can I do I made homemade chicken soup lots of hot tea. but run in the cold every day. Do you have any suggestions for me. I do not have a fever. Thank you Dr. Lisa A. Dreano
[|AI|]  Hi, the symptoms you have told seems to be of allergic in origin. Consult your local doctor to switch off from prednisone to other steroid alternative. And as you have mentioned the diagnosis as acute bronchitis asthma I would like you to try beta 2 agonists such as albuterol(though you haven't specifically mentioned breathlessness as of now). Try nedocromil or ipratropium bromide for congestion problem. I am sorry I can't tell you exact dose because It's difficult to predict severity from here. Home remedies would be of little help until and unless its self limiting. ABOVE EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO IDENTIFY THE ALLERGEN WHICH COULD BE ANYTHING UNDER SUN AND STAY AWAY FROM IT.ONLY YOU CAN DO THAT SATISFACTORILY. This is with your statement mentioning your diagnosis as asthma. Best of luck. I am sure you are going to be fine:)
