Anyone with asthma taking Symbicort have choking problems?

@narelled23 First I saw an ENT to rule out permanent throat damage, then I went to a speech therapist in my pulmonologist's practice to work on coughing.
As for throat clearing, years ago, I realized it was a habit, and I needed to break it. I was taught to sip a little water or use a lozenge (Throat Calm or SoothEez). Or I do a little huff cough or some deep breathing. I'm not perfect, but try to be very aware of it, and if the above techniques don't work, I may need Mucinex, or more airway clearance.

Thank you so much.. will need to investigate this I think. 🙏
@sueinmn
Unfortunately my airway clearance consists of nebulising hypertonic, coughing and throat clearing. 🙄 Am going to find it very difficult to break these habits.

@sueinmn I just picked up some Sootheez to try. Glad I did as it contains about 4-5 times the amount of pectin as Ludon's. I remember you writing that one of your care givers said the key to reducing coughing was pectin. The flavors are a bit wacky - birthday cake, berry lemonade, and not cheap. I will save them for times when I really need to prevent a cough.
