Please guide me.
Have ABPA and was using Budesonide regularly. Recently, I suddenly stopped it because I wasn’t feeling well and didn’t know what else to do. Now I’m worried — can this make my ABPA worse? Will the fungal infection multiply or my IgE levels go higher? I had no idea stopping it suddenly could be risky. Please guide me.
You are not being treated for ABPA, although your abpa might be controlled if your pulmonologist has not given you anti fungals or steroids. Inhalational steroids(budesonide) are treatments given for asthma. And if stopped your asthma symptoms may increase and you may be at higher risk of flare up of asthma as well as ABPA.

Stopping budesonide suddenly won’t worsen ur ABPA but might increase your symptoms.. it helps u to keep your symptoms under control…
Fungal infection multiplication n Ige levels won’t alone depend on budesonide stoppage .. its multifactorial.. we need to assess
