A member asked:
Got a tickly dry feeling in my lungs, sort of like my lungs are thirsty. used my asthma inhaler (i get mild asthma sometimes) but it's come back again?

Asthma: The asthma rescue inhaler should last a few hours. If you need it more than just 2-3 times per week then we need to step up treatment and add a controller medicine typically, a steroid inhaler which is safe. Continue this until your doctor says to stop. Most likely, this is just temporary.
