Hello dear ,thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
The injection you are taking about is mostly steroid injection.
In emergency situation, injection deriphyllin and dexona are given intramuscularly.
Dexona being a steroid is first choice in this.
Because of its anti inflammatory action, immediate relief is there in bronchitis. Bronchitis is nothing but inflammatory edema of bronchi which causes narrowing of the lumrn and thus breathing is difficult.
So anti inflammatory (steroid) are given to revert the inflammatory edema and thus open up the lumen.
So most probably the injection is of steroid.
I find this answer helpful
