Impact of covid on mild asthma patient
I take preventive corticosteroid inhaler( 1 puff in morning and night and contain beclometasone dipropionate, formoterol fumarate dihydrate ) since 10 months due to mild asthma which got triggered after GERD and small axial hiatal hernia. I wanted to know whether my body will get fever or other symptoms in case exposed to corona. Or the symptoms will be suppressed due to usase of inhaler until the covid get progressed

The symptoms of corona,will depend on many factors, specifically, the strain, viral load,and your immunity.
Inhalers will not suppress corona symptoms.

The use of inhalers doesn't affect the development of symptoms.
However, some patients with Covid 19 are absolutely asymptomatic and diagnosed incidentally.
