When I was given an inhaler to help with bronchial issues I was warned to gargle after every time I used the inhaler. This was to prevent getting Thrush.

I don't see any mentioned of this on post done on this subject of gargling every time. One poster even mentioned probably would not have issues if gargled every time.

I am commenting on what my Mayo doctors told me on this and what to do not my personal opinion.

@sharrondriver Are you using a chamber like the Vortex with the inhaler? This gets more of the medication to the lungs and deposits less in the mouth. Between that and rinsing, I have managed to avoid thrush for several years now.

The nurse at my pulmonologist office said to always rinse with an alcohol based mouthwash like Listerine. I've been using the Symbicort inhaler for over a month with no problems.
