The hoarseness might still be a lingering effect of your virus, but yes, you should rinse your mouth after inhaler use. I don't know if anyone does anything particular, but I tend to use whatever is at hand to be honest.

Thanks minus havens

I gargle with water, clean my teeth and then gargle again with water after using my inhalers:-)

Yes you need to rinse and gargle after using your preventer. Not good for your vocal chords..

i used to gargle with mouth wash but had a bad attack of thrush. not sure if it was to blame but i now only use water, cheaper too.
