Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

br>Doxacycline is used for an infection, for example in your case possible Pneumonia.

Prednizone is used to treat astma exacerbation.

So I think your doctor has examined your lungs and heard some breathing sounds that suggest pneumonia and asthma.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
