I went to an urgent care on 10/01/14 and they told me that I had bronchitis. They gave me a prescription for prednisone, albuterol, guaiatussin, and azithromycin. It has been 6 days now and my cough is a lot better but I have been running a fever of 100.something everyday still. Also, I have this burning sensations on my skin in multiple spots, mainly my back and arms? Just wondering if this is normal or if I need to return to see a doctor.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion prednisone should be stopped now. And you can take inhaled steroid rather than oral prednisone. And diagnosis of bronchitis needs PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). So consult pulmonologist and get done PFT. Oral steroids have many side effects and your skin lesions can be due to this only. And oral steroids have specific indications in bronchitis.  Not everyone should be given. So better to consult pulmonologist and start inhaled steroids.
