Hello, I was recently diagnosed with allergy induced asthma by a pulmonologist. I was having a bad time breathing. Lots of coughing, wheezing, up all night. He put me on 20 mg of Prednisone for 8 days, along with Albuterol every 4-6 hours (taking every 4 if not a bit more) and Symicort 2x per day. Also I am taking a nose spray, Dymista 2x day, and Zyrtec once per day. I have been taking Benedryl at night as well...
This is my 2nd day following this regimen and I have had some relief- less wheezing for sure, but still sleepless as the dose of prednisone seems to be helpful for about 8 hours but then wears off and I am sleepless once again with lots of coughing. Can I take a second dose of Prednisone 12 hrs after the first? I think that would help me but I don't know if that is ok?
