I'm on my second day of taking all of these I have taken 9 of the prednisolone , maybe 4 doses of the puffer, and my antibiotic...I'm feeling jumpy but tired, when I cough My Head HURTS to the point that I squeeze the whole top of it as to keep it from bursting... my husband just came home and said my face looks purple to him...I do look flushed and I just don't feel right... SHOULD I BE TAKING ALL OF THESE THINGS TOGETHER??
