Hi Doc, Im 23 years old and was diagnosed with bronchitis a few years ago. My doctor prescribed me an Asthaline inhaler, which I use when I feel breathless. A few months ago, I had similar issues and visited a different doctor, who gave me Formonide 200 for two weeks. It worked much better than Asthaline, and since then, I havent needed Asthaline. But yesterday, I felt like I needed it again, and it didnt provide long-term relief. Should I be concerned, or is it normal to switch between inhalers like this?

It seems that your bronchitis symptoms may have worsened or changed over time. While Formonide 200 (a steroid inhaler) may provide better long-term relief, the Asthaline inhaler (a bronchodilator) is used for immediate symptom relief but may not provide sustained effects. I recommend discussing your symptoms with your doctor, as a long-term management plan with the appropriate medication may be needed.
