Asthma and inhaler

2023-09-29 16:19:25
I was diagnosed with tb 2 years ago and after treatment I had difficulty of breathing and doctor said it was post tb asthma and gave inhaler. Now i do not feel urgency to take inhaler on daily basis but sometimes I need this. My question is do I need to take inhaler on regular basis or SOS basis?
