hi,
about your tongue soreness may be oppurtunistic fungal infection due to use of corticosteroid inhaler.
first and foremost after usage of inhaler you need to rinse your mouth with lukewarm water. get
candid mouthpaint and apply it as frequently as possible....it may help relieve the soreness.
just check with your physician after 14 days if symptoms don't subside.
hope your query is answered
