Sending all the best for 2023 and hope you all keep as healthy as possible.

I have had a bad 5 weeks on rescue antibiotics and steroids x 3 times! This is my first flare up and I am still struggling somewhat, My doc has changed me to bevispi inhaler ( was seretide before) and no antiobiotics as he said no infection and just finished my 3 rd lot of pred, I still seem to be getting quite alot of mucous despite meds, staying hydrated and doing steam, also using rescue inhaler 4 times a day. I am a bit short of breath but not excessively. Does anyone take take the bevispi inhaler and did it help? how long did it take to be helpful? Is it normal for a flare to last this long? any ideas of anything else I can do to get rid of this dreaded cough please? Sorry its a long post but you sound a helpful group ...... thank you x
