Lung wheezing sounds and Corticosteroid
I had pneumonia in 2013. Till now, I am using corticosteroid inhaler. If I stop using it, I am getting wheezing sounds in lungs and cough. My questions are: 1) After one episode of pneumonia, will the lung be always affected and cannot return to normal state? 2) Should I take corticosteroid inhaler throughout my life? Any remedies please..
