I also feel I do not need my inhaler, but I use it because I know it is supposed to help keep my lungs clear and open to make breathing easier.

Do you rinse your mouth after using your inhaler? If not, you need to start. You could also try gargling afterwards, it might help add some moisture back into your throat. I have a cup of coffee in the morning after using mine, and sip ice cold water all day.

I am sure someone will probably have better suggestions. Hope you feel better.

Steroids do have this side affect. Drink lots of water. Suck on hard candy.

Not what you're looking for?
