Horrible taste in my mouth! 🤢

I have recently been ticked off by my asthma nurse as I wasn't using my brown inhaler and relying on using my blue reliver one. I'm now using my brown one correctly twice a day, and funnily enough have not had to use my blue one at all! The down side is I now have a horrible taste in my mouth. Has anyone else experienced this and if so, does anyone have any antidotes? Thank you for your time.

You need to brush your teeth and rinse your mouth out otherwise you can build up oral candida

I gargle with water a couple of times then spit it out after using the preventer.

What kind of inhaler is it? Is it a powder one, or a spray one with a canister (probably like the blue one)? If it's a spray one, you could use a spacer with it, which should reduce how much goes in your mouth (and increase what goes in your lungs!). This site shows the different types available - it doesn't need to be huge: rightbreathe.com/?s=&device...

I should rinse my mouth out but don't, but don't have a bad taste and have never had oral thrush in the 48 years I've been asthmatic. I've been using a dry powder one and it is the most effective inhaler I've ever used, Duoresp Spiromax 320/9.
