View allI'm currently dealing with bronchitis and take Combitide125, two puffs daily, to manage it. I've just gotten over a fever, but now I can't seem to shake off this persistent cough. I'm wondering if it's safe to start taking an expectorant like Ascoril along with my inhalers. Is that advisable, or should I avoid mixing them?
