Advair and throat irritation

Common Questions and Answers about Advair and throat irritation

advair

I was on it previously for 7 years. Since then I've had a sore/irritated throat and have seen the doctor who has done two cultures with nothing abnormal growing. They don't see anything either. It's like every little thing irritates my throat and it happened as soon as I stopped the advair. Any ideas what this could be ?

I have been taking advair for many years now, and I believe it is affecting my vocal chords. I am a singer, and I always have to clear my throat, and am always raspy. does advair dry out vocal chords? Is there a better option that can help me breathe, but also still sing?

-Methocholine challenge VERY REACTIVE to lowest dose-enough so that tech administering test called Dr to get me on meds asap. -started on advair discus 500 and short course steroids immediately -repeat problems w/ thrush - NOT an oral hygiene issue - am a dental hygienist and have excellent OH -switched to advair HFA w/spacer about 6 months ago. -Somewhere in this - not exactly sure when it began because it was gradual - I began having burning deep in my chest when I breathe.

)I recently developed a mild asthma thing from a bad cold and doc put me on advair but sometimes when i take it i feel my heart beating really forcefully a little fast and feel anxious--i read advair can cause this but i dunno---anyone else know anything about this???

I do understand that normally there is 2 to 3 litres of mucus in the nasal / sinus area. How do I stop this throat irritation which starts the coughing process ? There is also mucus, I feel, in my airways. Quite often, while speaking to some one I start choking and feel constrained in the throat and have to stop talking and clear my throat. It has really become very annoying and often tiring on a day to day basis. This started about 2 years ago and now it is quite bad.

All deep throat jokes aside, I have been plagued with an irritated throat right where the pendant hangs on a choker for a couple of months. A couple of others at work have complained also, not a bad sore throat, just irritated. The lab manager went to the Dr. and they did a strep test, and identified hers as Strep F, said they had never heard of it. Her white count was not elevated.

It seems worse if I lean or turn to the R, as does the sensation in my R throat. A month ago I tried advair for a week, the tightness in my R chest decreased, but the cough continued so my family dr said I could stop (it was causing problems sleeping and with headaches). I then tried otc prilosec for 2 weeks with no change in my symptoms at all. I took prilosec 3 yrs ago when I misunderstood dosing for celebrex which resulted in severe stomach pain.

I was put initially on several medications for the asthma including advair, Singulair, Albuterol, and Preventil and was given several treatments of Prednisone, all because I had a "cold" that wouldn't go away. This helped at that time. As of recent, within the last 2 years that is....my symptoms for asthma changed drastically. These symptoms have been consistant and will not subside with medications.

However, ever since the end of Oct, I have noticed that the clearing and throat irritation are much worse, especially the throat irritation as I can live with the clearing as I have been for years. I have had to increase my usage of some of the inhalers in this as well. What I am experiencing now is a constant irritated throat, followed by episodes of throat clearing with some shortness of breath which the inhalers do bring good relief.

I don't notice myself coughing at night. The throat issue is the worst. When I take the Xopenex my throat seems to open up a bit. My blood work is fine except billirubins are high. Dr. thinks it's Gilbert's. I was just put on blood pressure medication 1.5 months ago. I was on Protonix but now Zantac as they suspected acid reflux. It's not helping. I have at least one bout of stomach aches and diarrehea in the middle of the night per week. Stool somewhat loose regularly.

After you use all inhalers,rinse and gargle with water,that also causes throat irritation.Cindy is right,Nexium is great,Aciphex works pretty well to.Good Luck and of course ask your Doc or Pharmacist about possible drug interactions.

I scrounged up the copay money somehow and saw the doctor, and was diagnosed with both bronchitis and a sinus infection, and was put on an sulfate antibiotic, codeine, and a week's worth of advair to quell what he described as asthmatic lung spasms brought on by the bronchitis. The worst of the cough and the sinus infection faded over time with the medicines, but the cough never went away completely. For me to have a cough for months after an illness isn't unusual, but this felt...wrong.

I am now left with a scratchy throat and a constant dry cough. My vocal cords seem to be very irritated. I get worse if I talk a lot. Additionally, I can't eat certain types of food anymore, such as anything with a sweet icing such as a glazed donut or anything spicy. I don't normally eat sweet stuff, but I occasionally have dessert after a great meal. Those types of food will send me into a coughing fit.

After almost every meal i clear my throat for 30 minutes or so. Sometimes i start clearing my throat before i'm finished eating. I have had this problem for probably about 10 years. I am 26 now and tired of this. I also have problems breathing at times. It seems to be random times that this occurs, but i have noticed that many times it co-incides with my high amounts of phlem. I was told i had allergy induced asthma 5 years ago and nothing i was prescirbed made any significant differece.

On saturday I got yellow mucus from one nosstril and gP gave me steroid nasal spray, not sure it is working, the thing is the smell taste and with tegh original phlegm is awful and my throat is irritated. I hate my life now, I thought it is sexual and got tested for everything....twice, i will go back to my GP if this doesn't go in another week.

Since this is not present all of the time, making the diagnosis becomes even more difficult. It is possible that you have irritated the lining of the throat, but this does not usually come and go, as you have described. I would suggest speaking with an ENT specialist about this problem.

I drink a lot of coffee (suger, cream or milk, 3 or 4 a day) and I'm wondering if thats causing irritation in the throat bringing on the mucus. I also heard it could be a sign of GERD (reflux disease) but I'm not aware I have that (but it could be the case considering all the coffee and other junk food I have). I heard from GERD its a sensation only (from stomach acids rising up your throat) rather than actual phlegm in your throat. Not sure if this is true though.

Only thing i have is GERD/LPR with sinsation of lump in throat and a very small irregular heart beat. I also am constantly clearing my throat.I heard that can be because of the Gerd/LPR. I just took a new PFT test and my breathing is normal. i did have a deviated septum but got that fixed..My lung specialist says its just all in my head and that i have this because ive become aware of my breathing pattern. i've used advair, singular and breathing pumps for asthma with no results.

I have suffered Asthma since 1953 and find the breathing exercises do help, but you must stay calm and persivere with the breathing exercises, it even helps me to overcome GERD situations too.

I get mall particles of food that gets stuck in the back of my throat somewhere around the nasal passage area. These are small particle of hard food like a part of a peanut shards after being chewed up.. or really small pills like 10mg lipitor (I don't know how many of the liptors have literally dissolved back there instead of my stomach) Almost every night I have something stuck there it causes my sinus to swell in the during sleep and can sometimes get painful if it does not get dislodge.

When I wake in the morning, it is white and stuck to the back of my throat, which I believe is the reason my throat is irritated most of the time. It takes about an hour of drinking before it clears and then drainage continues, is more clear in color but always there. This all occurs on the right side of my throat. does anyone else have this same problem when waking up in the morning? I have little coughing but when I do cough, I usually bring up some mucus (yellow in color).

For about a month now i have been experiencing this sensation in my mouth/throat that is quite irritating. I wouldn't say it is a pain in my throat, but more of a bothersome discomfort. I went to the doctor and they said it might be allergies, but they weren't really sure. She couldn't see anything physically wrong and suggested an ENT or dentist. (i'm away from home for two more months so that would be very hard to accomplish) I have no sneezing, itchy eyes, coughing, hives.

Im believing its one of two things HPV that i some how transfered to my throat from sticking my hands in my mouth checking my throat ( I washed my hands but im worried that i may have not washed them enough or may have accidently itched my genitals and touch my mouth and somehow spread it) or Candida though i have a white appearing tongue also i occasionaly get asthma when im around cats which i use advair for i dont have any crazy symptoms just this itching in my throat that comes and goes th

It could also just be your allergies and PND or irritation from coughing. advair discus (realy any dry powder inhaler) has larger particles than MDI inhalers that land on the vocal cords and irritate them causing you to be hoarse. I would suggest that you ask your docotr about MDI alternatives. advair Hfa is one. Others include Symbicort and Dulera. Feel better.

Then, six months into using it, I started having a very irritated throat (had been rinsing properly, that was not it) seven asthma attacks in two months, two severe and discontinued it because of the sore throat. That was one year ago. About one month ago, I think, CBS news had a health warning to people using advair and mentioned that 13% of the people using it were getting worse after a few months and 54 had been determined died from an asthma attack while on it.

So my symtoms before Nexium were extreme chest tightness, hoarse throat, asthma all the time, red chest and cheeks and this irritating trickling feeling in my chest. Now on the Nexium I have less chest pain and shortness of breath most of the time, but I get stomach pain instead. I'd rather have the stomach pain than chest pain, but it concerns me that it's not going away. I feel like I have heartburn in my throat now.

does Prednisone and/or other steroids adversely effect the thyroid. The advair irritated my throat even though I gargled, as instructed, afterwards. I have not felt "right" since taking the steroids and it appears to me that the steroids started an insidious round of bad health.

I seemed to be irritated all the time by the powder of advair , it would cause me to have major coughing and mucus spells.. I understand that Asmanex, also is a powder but it seems a lot finer when I used it the first time and it hasen't irritated my throat and airways as of yet. My insurance co won't pay for it so I was given samples and told to use it in the AM 2puffs. Is this the normal dosage ? Do most people respond well to it? All input appreciated. Thanks.

Gargling and rinsing the mouth after each puff on your corticosteroid inhaler, may help to prevent mouth and throat irritation. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.

Nebulized Pulmicort, advair, Asmanex, etc. For me, they irritate the throat and bronchial passages creating as much harm as good. I can tolerate Symbicort (probably because it is an aerosol rather than powder) and it does open passages somewhat but it nonetheless irritates and begins a cycle of thin mucous drainage. Curious if anyone has tried lidocaine.
