Can The Use Of Inhaler Cause Damage To Tongue?
Question: Can an inhaler damage you tongue?
Brief Answer:
it can't
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
the answer is no. The only common problem is yeast infection, if the inhaler contains corticosteroids. But this is easily manageable. You should always wash your mouth and throat after you've taken your dose. I repeat that all of the above apply to inhalers that contain corticosteroids only! The rest of them won't normally cause any problems.
Kind Regards!
