Rash, cough & wheeze: Although possible, it's rare to get a rash from albuterol. Have your physician diagnose it; i believe it's not related to the inhaler. Taking Benadryl (diphenhydramine) can worsen the cough and wheezing as well. So i advise you to resume the inhaler immediately in addition to starting a steroid inhaler 2x a day to prevent worsening of your condition.
