A member asked:
Besides copd and asthma, what can you need an inhaler for?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many Problems: COPD and Asthma are certainly the most common causes of a need for an inhaler, but there are other causes as well. Some might be exercise induced bronchospasm, acute illness like bronchitis or asthma (if it helps with symptoms), Chronic Bronchitis, Chronic Cough, or Chronic Eosinophilic Bronchitis. Sometimes inhalers are used at the doctor's discretion.
