I tested positive for Covid last Saturday (2.7.) Not too bad, sore throat and a bit tired.
However, it has increased my asthma symptoms, which are usually very mild. I was aware of wheezing, and slight shortness of breath on exertion.
I upped my inhaled steroid (Fostair 100/6) from 1 puff twice a day to 2 puffs four times a day, (max allowed on my Asthma Plan) but kept my pred at 5mgs. This has controlled the symptoms.
What I don't know, is how inhaled steroid dose equates to oral dose?
Can anyone help?
As I've managed without upping the pred so far, I'm very reluctant to do it now, but will try to reduce the Fostair as soon as possible.
Any advice will be gratefully received.
