I have been on singular for my allergy induced asthma. I got a bad upper respiratory infection on the 29 of December . My asthma went out of control .so I am on symbicort 2 puffs in morning and 2 at night. I started on Feb. 3. My breathing is much better. Still not completely better. Today I started getting pain in my right shoulder. Is this a side affect?

Hello,
Pain in your right should could be due to possible musculo-skeletal problems. However, if I was your caring doctor would rule out another respiratory infection.
So, better check with your lung specialist, run a good physical examination, respiratory function test and chest X-ray for proper diagnosis.
Can take an over the counter painkiller for the moment like paracetamol or mefenamic acid.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
