Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. While using corticosteroid inhalation treatment you can get oral candidiasis. For preventing this you should wash your mouth with warm water after each time you do inhalation of corticosteroid. You can also take probiotics. Taking yogurt or kefir is also good. You can use beta agonist like salmeterol or formeterol alone and avoid corticosteroid if it is working for you. This you can ask your GP or chest physician.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
