I've had a cough problem since I was a kid, especially in April and June because of dust. I'm 24 now and have tried so many medicines, but nothing seems to work. My doctor told me to use levolin and budecort, but I'm still struggling. Is there anything else you think might help me get rid of this issue? Any advice would be great.

I'm currently using a Foracort steroid-based inhaler and was considering switching to the Seroflo inhaler with salmeterol. Are there any concerns or issues I should be aware of if I make this change?

Seroflo (Salmeterol + Fluticasone) and Foracort (Formoterol + Budesonide) are both steroid-based inhalers, but they differ in their active ingredients, with Seroflo containing Salmeterol (a longer-acting bronchodilator) and Fluticasone (an inhaled corticosteroid), whereas Foracort contains Formoterol (a faster-acting bronchodilator) and Budesonide (an inhaled corticosteroid); switching from Foracort to Seroflo may require medical supervision, as it may cause changes in asthma control, and your doctor may need to adjust the dosage or monitor you for potential side effects.
