I have recently been on a course of a/b's and prednisolone for chest infection pneumonia verdict from GP, I have asthma and I was coughing up phlegm and generally feeling unwell, flu like symptoms and having no energy, my GP wanted to give me more prednisolone at a reduced level, i am not feeling as wheezy and getting my energy back a bit, and do not like being on prednisolone, but should I be on second dose on reduced level?
