Will inhealer worsen my infection

2025-03-24 17:48:44
Patient Query for Doctors: "I recently had an infection, and my doctor prescribed Foracort and Saliprair L 20 inhalers for breathlessness. However, I have been experiencing recurrent urinary bacterial infections for the last 2 years (attaching my report). Additionally, I have ear pain and buzzing, and my ENT doctor mentioned it could be an infection. I also take Doxylin and Cetirizine. Given my current health issues, can I continue using these inhalers, or should I stop and inform my doctor? Also, is there a risk that the infection could spread or worsen, especially due to the inhalers? Will the corticosteroid inhaler (Foracort) specifically make my infection worse?" Please advise.

Use of inhalers should be continued and all concerns should be discussed with doctor. Less like urinary or ear infection will worsen due to inhalers. Corticosteroid in inhalers is topically active so least chance of worsening other sites of infections as blood levels are very very low.
