A member asked:

I've had a continuous cough for 4 weeks. went to doctor yesterday and given blue inhaler. made cough worse since using it. help?!

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Call physician and: inform him of your increased symptoms. He/she may want to prescribe a short course of oral steroids and give you advice about the inhaler: some inhalers are irradiative.
