Rinsing

[christyne]

Is it important to rinse your mouth out after using inhalers?

[Hidden]

Yes especially if they contain steroids, as it can cause thrush on the tongue and throat! Painful..I did enjoy sounding Bonny Tyler for a while though ,quite sexy lol..x

Thanks porche, I thought that would be the case. x

I tend to use a mouthwash rather than just water, preventative oral hygiene. Water's fine though and if you wear dentures, don't forget to rinse those too!

...nothing the matter with sounding like Bonny Tyler, especially when your on the phone and the guy on the other end can't see you...haha

"We laugh in the face of this dratted COPD" Hahahaha!!

......don't let it wear you down Christyne, a sense of humour makes the road we walk a little easier to negotiate...some days it's all we have the strength left to do

Only the powdered steroid inhalers but, hey, why not if you want to anyway, lol!
