My son is on oral steroids to try and get asthma cough under control. Oxygen is 98% so good. Cough no better since starting steroids yesterday and looks awful. Do we leave it longer or go to A&E? Not particularly breathless just can’t stop coughing .

Thank you for all your help. Went to A&E. Gave him antibiotics, increased the oral steroid and now on a nebuliser. Hoping it will sort it out.

Ahh good you went and got sorted, our threshold for going in is clearly way higher than other people's (im not saying that as a good thing, we should probably be more careful and less blasé).

Glad you went and got sorted, hopefully he’s improving quickly
