An underlying infection is likely causing the infection and not the inhaler.
Only use it if the doctor has prescribed it now. Not a few months back for that temporary basis. If the inhaler is old, spacer is uncleaned, could be the cause for infection also.
For any queries, kindly book an online consultation with me.
