I'm having wheezing for the past couple of days, mostly at night and not so much during the day. My doctor told me to use one puff at night an hour before I go to sleep. I'm wondering if I should gargle my throat right after using the inhaler, or if there's anything else I should be doing. Also, if I stop using the inhaler after 15 days, could the wheezing come back?

Yes ,gargling is advised to the patient inorder to prevent fungal infection.

I've been trying to wrap my head around the possibility of having asthma. I'm 30 and just got some tests done - like the x-ray and CT pulmonary angiogram - and they both came back normal. I also did a Spirometry test, and my FVC and FeV1 values were above 110, which should be a good sign, right? The doc mentioned I have a mild wheezing sound now and then, but not always. I even did a six-minute walking test with jogging, and my spo2 levels before and after were 99 and 98. I usually climb four floors, do brisk walking, jogging, and some skipping exercises without feeling breathless, although sometimes I think I might get breathless, but it never really happens. Should I be worried about asthma, or could it be something else?
do stress test and rule out the other conditions

I'm really worried because I've been having some trouble with my breathing and caught a cold, so my doctor had me get a CT scan. It says "no significant abnormality detected," but Im still feeling off. Can you help me understand what might be going on? Could there be something else causing my symptoms that's not showing up on the scan?
probably you might have high cough or increased sputum ,to rule out some respiratory causes they would have taken CT scan
