Oh, dude, giving Prednisone for a respiratory infection is like giving a plant water when it needs sunlight. Prednisone is a steroid that helps reduce inflammation, but it won't actually treat the infection itself. You'd need antibiotics for that. So, like, maybe save the Prednisone for when you're feeling all inflamed and leave it out of the infection party.

Can you take mucinex Prednisone and amoxicillin together?

The drugs are often given together for acute (very bad initiially) upper respiratory infection with wheezing or inflammation. The prednisone very quickly opens airways for better breathing. The amoxicillin is for infection, the most common ones in the upper breathing areas. The mucinex will thin the mucus which also has dead and live bacteria in it so that the antibiotic can work better. Mucinex also help you cough up or blow out this mucus.
