Does Clarithromycin And Prednisolone Cause Hoarseness?

Hello
One of the less common side effects of the antibiotic Clarithromycin is hoarseness.
This side effect can also be caused by Prednisilone.
If a person with Asthma is taking both these medications for a chest infection, should they stop these medications if they develop hoarseness?
Many thanks.
