Stop trying to be brave and doing things you aren't supposed to.
If you have done this before and had no problems, it doesn't mean you can do it again. If you are an asthmatic and on prednisone, that means your asthma is severe. No drinks with any fizz, nor cold drinks neither hard drinks are supposed to be taken during an attack.
Stick to proper treatment and a proper diet to get better fast
