First asthma attack Scared !!
Posted , 1 user is following.
Hi everyone,
On wed. last week i suffered an asthma exacerbation and bronchitis. The week before i was having alot of sinus issues no fever or sore throat. Just did not feel right. Went to PCP and was given a solu medrol shot along with prescriptions of prednisone 20 mg to take twice a day for 3 days then 1 for the other 2 days. I am also on flovent HFA inhaler and Levalbuterol inhaler. Along with that i am taking 2 plain mucinex twice a day and flonase and claritin. I am still having alot of clear jelly like mucous from my lungs and sinuses and i have rales at different times of the day which has gotten better because before it was all day. When should I start to feel better ? Also i noticed that when i take the prednisone it takes a couple of hours to start working . Is this normal ? I am getting really anxious because i have been out from work since thursday and i have to go back on monday. Also the PCP wasnt very informative as to when i should be using the rescue inhaler even though am on theses medications. I have an allergist which i am comtemplating of calling on monday and following up with them for more direction. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much
