What did your ENT or pulmonologist say about this?

I take Advair (the generic form) and was warned about thrush and to wash mouth out and gargle immediately after doing inhaler. The Advair is the only inhaler that I can say worked for me to remove the irritation in my bronchial tubes.

I see you are doing what you are suppose to do but still got it. Are you taking anything else with steroids in it?

Hopefully MCC will provide you with feedback of what worked for them to prevent it.

ENT wasn’t sure it was thrush (mentioned maybe just residual from all the meds?) pulmonologist just keeps throwing meds at it. Both responses are frustrating. Fortunately Mayo visit is in three weeks…

And yes I am on prednisone 10 mg at the moment. I’ve been on it since June and started at 40 mg. Every time I taper to 5 mg every other day my lungs get real angry. So I think the thrush is a combo of simbacort , prednisone and my rescue inhaler airsupra.

I’m glad you don’t have it! Keep rinsing!
