Prednisilone
Hi Mandy,
I've had exactly the same as you hey fever followed by cold and t 4.30 had to call 999 as breathing suddenly became difficult from all the coughing, my oxygen levels were good but I think that is because I know my Asthma symptoms better than any doctor.
Just back from docs this afternoon told no chest infection (even though I have green phlegm, tight chest and wheezy like a tin whistle) given prednisilone 8 x 5mg per day!!!
Fed up of doctors telling me I have no infection only to find myself at the out of hours doctors been given antibiotics!! So challenged my doctor this afternoon and got a snotty response saying my own doctor knows me better than any out of hours!
I seem to be seeing ooh doctors more and more often .
Hope you feel better soon Mandy.
Ems.
