Prednisone weakens your immune system providing more opportunity for infected airways. Ask your doctor to provide a steroid inhaler instead of prednisone which might help.

An oral steroid, like prednisone, is preferred for those of us prone to bacterial infections. An inhaled steroid such as budesonide goes directly into the lungs setting up an environment that bacteria like.
