Thanks for your question on HCM. Injectable steroids are given in exacerbation of asthma. But tge most common cause for this is infection. So make sure that proper antibiotics are given. And injectable steroids should taper off once patient is better.no need to give it longer. And after discharge put him on inhaled medicines like long acting beta 2 agonist and inhaled corticosteroids. This will help him in preventing future exacerbation. And about headache I think it will go away with simple pain killers. No need to worry for this.
