Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for the query
I am Dr. Alok and very pleased to be assisting you with your health questions today.
If you have wheezing and stuffiness, means your disease is not under control. I think that you need to take next step medication.
Prednisolone cannot be given for long time, as it has serious side effect, if taken for a long time. You can discuss with your doctor to give you either same prednisolone for a short period of time or other medicines available
Hope this helps and provides answers to your question.
If you have any further queries, please don’t hesitate to ask me again
I wish you good health, take care
