I'm just wondering if the Budamate 200 mcg inhaler could be harmful because I know it's a steroid. Is it as risky as other steroids? I'm also concerned about whether using it could lead to something like black fungus. I used it for about five days when I was recovering from COVID. Can you help me understand the possible side effects?

View allI've been dealing with a cough that I had a couple of months ago, and while it seems to be gone now, I'm still having trouble with persistent mucus. Recently, I've started feeling some chest tightness and alternating mild to moderate pain. Just a few days ago, my throat was also bothering me. I'm really concerned about what's causing all these symptoms, especially during this lockdown. Any advice on what I should do?

I'm a 21-year-old girl and I've been prescribed a Levolin inhaler for my asthma treatment. I'm wondering how it compares to the Asthalin inhaler and what makes Levolin a better choice for me. Could you help explain the differences?
Levolin (levosalbutamol) inhaler is considered better than Asthalin (salbutamol) inhaler for some patients because levosalbutamol is the active R-enantiomer of salbutamol, which provides more targeted and effective bronchodilation with potentially fewer side effects, making it a preferred option for asthma management.

I'm a bit worried because I had COVID about three weeks ago, and my doctor suggested spirometry exercises for my lungs. But I've noticed that when I do spirometry for about 2 minutes, my SpO2 levels drop to like 92, 93, or 94. If I wait for 5 minutes after that, it goes back up to around 98 or 99. I also tried a 6-minute walk, and my SpO2 seems to stay around 96 to 98 during that. Is it normal for spirometry exercises to drop my SpO2 so much? Just for reference, my chest CT score was 12.
spirometer will improve spo2 never decrease it
