I have had a bad asthma attack the last two days. Worse at night. Terrible cough, crackling and wheezing. Feeling like I can't get a full breath. I saw a doctor that works with my regular one and she put me on Dulera- an inhaler that has a steroid in it. I'm afraid it will ruin my singing voice if I don't gargle with water after use. You can also get thrush if you don't rinse well enough after. She wants me to use it two puffs twice a day. She held off on prednisone because I had a panic attack after I took it this past February. I feel best when I’ve taken my rescue inhaler, Albuterol. But that’s every 6-8 hours. Sometimes I need it more.
