I've finished a nine-month treatment for TB. Is there a chance it might come back? What steps can I take to prevent it from happening again? Would love your advice.

View allI'm currently using a Seroflo 250 inhaler and I've read that it contains steroids. I'm a bit concerned about having to use this medication for the rest of my life. Could you please explain if there are any potential side effects or complications I should be aware of? I'm really looking for some clarity on this.
Long-term use of Seroflo 250 inhaler, containing Salmeterol and Fluticasone (a steroid), may lead to potential side effects, including oral thrush, hoarseness, coughing, headaches, and increased risk of pneumonia, osteoporosis, and cataracts; however, the benefits of controlling asthma symptoms often outweigh the risks

I've been dealing with some respiratory issues lately. A few months back, I couldn't get rid of a cough and found out I developed allergies to house dust mites. This progressed into allergic asthma, and the doctor put me on Seretide 250 for a month, which really helped. After finishing it, my asthma got better, but I started waking up with a morning cough. I recently caught the flu, which turned into acute bronchitis. I'm feeling better now after taking antibiotics. I'm wondering if it's safe for me to start another month of Seretide 250. Do you think it's okay?
no not required, drink hot water. take some cough syrup
