Depending upon the condition we have to use steroids.
For example bronchial asthma and copd patients they have to use long term inhalor therapy.
Right now what is your xray chest report, how frequently your getting breathing difficulty and what about your lab reports and spirometry.
Generally in acute bronchitis and acute asthma attack we don't advice inhalor more than 2 weeks.
Most commonly this inhalor steroids and bronchodilators cause repeated pharyngitis,peptic ulcer, osteoporosis, weight gain, tremor, palpitations.
Use mouth gargle every time after inhalor use. Plenty of liquids, avoid allegen that causes your problem.
