What can i do if my inhaler makes my chest / throat infection worse?

See doctor...: If you think your inhaler is worsening and/or causing a throat infection, you need to see your doctor so this can be diagnosed and treated. If this is indeed the case, your inhalers may need to be adjusted. If you are using a steroid inhaler, you should use a spacer device and rinse and spit after each and every dose. This can decrease your infection rate!
