Hello,Thankyou for your quiry.
Brief..Flixotide contains steroid which can lower immunity
Detail..Since there are certain side effects which may occur if flixotide is used for prolonged period.For example,sore throat,oral thrush,hoarse voice,chest infections and skin bruisis.It tend to decrease immunity so less strength to fight minor infections .Since your ur lab reports are normal so more likely it could be food intolerance.
My opinion would be ,change the menu of diet for some days and have plenty of water and light food.
Hopefully my answer will be helpfull.
Regards,Dr.Maheshwari
