I have a white viscous paste on my palatine uvula & in my mouth. could it be because of the corticosteroids that i take by inhalation?

Yes: Many times corticosteroid inhalers may cause oral yeast infections. See your dentist for proper diagnosis and treatment.

See your PCP: for consultation, medication reconciliation and tests. Your doctor will provide you with a referral to a specialist (ENT, Oral Pathologist, etc), if you need to see one.
