No you should not be worried if you don't have fever. Some steam inhalation will help and if you are wheezing then must make sure you don't have asthma
Not knowing dose of steroids it is difficult to answer the question. If the dose of steroids is small increasing that may help.
I suggest you visit your doctor asap; although a zpak is generally helpful, you may need a second look, and inhalers. Do you have a fever? Are you short of breath? Do you smoke? Are you drinking plenty of fluids and resting? This is best managed in person.
