On day 3 of a five day course of pred and still not feeling great ,up this morning 4am with a dry hacking cough (I sound like a seal) still wheezing. I really thought once the warmer weather started things would start to improve.

Hi Lyngal, it depends if you still have an infection lingering.. If you don't feel better at the end of the 5 days book an appointment with your GP. Xx
