Asthma sufferer
Hi I was diagnosed with Asthma about 3-4 years ago. I was prescribed a Brown inhaler (2 puffs morning and night) and a Blue inhaler when needed. I am singer and found that I was losing my voice frquently. I decided this could be down to the inhalers, which I stopped using. I haven't lost my voice since, but seem to pick up chesty colds that can linger. Should I continue without the inhalers or not please?

You need good clinical examination by a pulmonologist and ENT doctor to rule out candidal infection, and involvement of larynx for any nodules etc...dont stop inhalers instead rinse your mouth and consult pulmonologist for optimization of your treatment.
Health Tips
rinse your mouth thoroughly after taking inhaler.

Hi.i understand your concern s. You will need a detailed examination to look if it's any fungal infection and also get a pulmonary function test done which is needed for to assess severity of asthma based on which treatment can be titrated. Consult a pulmonologist for the same.
