Had Pneumonia. Forget To Use Inhalers. On Advair. Use Airomir And Atrovent Also?
Hi, I cant remember when i am supposed to use inhalers --prescribed a year ago when hospitalized for pneumonia... gradually I have been forgetting to use them and now wonder if I even need them; have advair -- morning and night which I use occasionally but should i also be using Airomir and Atrovent . Have I harmed myself by not using the advair regulary and the other two in halers ??
