Hi, Thanks for using the HCM.
You are on steroid which may cause oral thrush (oral fungal infection). Shuja you can stop levoline as it should not be taken continuously for long time and can start on plain monteleukast 5 mg tab (since you are 13 year) once daily in evening and can reduce dose of foracort gradually. This will help you to reduce side effects and also improvement in your health status.
Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help. Thanks get well soon....

Dear friend, welcome to HCM.
asthma and bronchitis are two entirely different conditions and need different treatments.
are you misdiagnosed?
what do you mean by 'crystal?'
is it a whitish patch?
painful?
if so whitish, curdy patches are due to fungal infections, especially if you take steroid sprays and have poor oral hygiene.
I would suggest to post all the detailed reports to guide you properly.
good luck.
