What Causes Ear Pain And Breast Soreness While On Methylprednisolone For Sinusitis?

I went to new doc due to new insurance, for ongoing sinu s problem (7mths now). I could only get in to see aNP and told her I was afraid I had mold in my sinu s due to our last house having mold. I have also had severe headaches at the top of my head so bad that I thought my eyes and ears would bleed. She prescribed methylprednisolone. I took one pill and felt worse, ear pain now, breast got very sore. I then looked up what this scrip was and it says DO NOT TAKE IF YOU HAVE FINGAL INFECTION .....correct me if I m wrong but isn t mold a fungus ?? Now I don t know what to do. I also have asthma. I have taken decongestants, anti histamine etc, nothing works.
