A member asked:

Started using ventolin for chronic bronchitis after not using it for three months and i am experiencing light exacerbation of symptoms which passed?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ventolin: Ventolin inhalation is for relief of wheezing only and if bronchial inflammation is present, additional treatment with anti-inflammatory corticosteroids and possibly antibiotics would be needed. See your physician if you're experiencing persistent cough, sputum production and wheezing.
