A friend uses a steroid inhaler because she says she sounds like a frog in the morning. It is good for inflammation.
However, I think she mentioned every 6 weeks she has to get treated for thrush.

I too use a steroid inhaler twice a day, and have for a long time. There are ways to avoid thrush such as using a spacer to better send the medication directly to the airway, and thoroughly rinsing your mouth after each use - some even suggest brushing your teeth.
