@cathy58 - One of the unwelcome side effects of repeat courses of antibiotics for lung infections is susceptibility to fungal infections.
They are not helped by either prednisone or antibiotics, and require specific treatment at described by @ktf
It's probably time to visit the doc and get evaluated.

Yes I agree and have visited with my pulmonologist and since things are not getting better he feels that I need to be scoped. I just worry because I have had this done before and I have a bad gagging reflex but my chest is tight short of breath especially with just walking to the kitchen that I need to know what’s wrong nothing is helping.
