Hello all,

about a week ago I got that bad cold thats going around.  My asthma flares every time I get a cold.  I went to my Dr. he put me on antibiotics and 60 mg of pred and has me tapering 10 mg every 5 days.  In addition I am using my nebulizer, asmanex, and singulair.  I called my pulmomologist on Friday since every time I breathe I wheeze.  He put me on tussinex cough syrup.  That at least has helped me to sleep but I am still wheezing what can I do?

In combination w/MDs tx, you need to keep your secretions as thin as possible ... drink plenty of fluids, run a humidifier, and use a saline nasal spray 3 times a day to keep the ciliary cleansed. This should help. Also, keep your head elevated about 30 degrees. Hope you feel better soon!
