Anyone use symbicort inhaler

I have been using this inhaler with the chamber on the end. I have noticed my throat is sore a lot especially when I do treatments. The hypersal feels like it is burning more than usual. Anyone else have this problem ? I rinse my mouth too.

Do you use other inhalers? I use Symbicort along with Ventolin and Asmanex; I've had some problems with thrush but it's probably just from the multitude of inhaled drugs. If you're not on any other inhalers it could certainly irritate your throat; other inhalers might be better, there are equivalents you could try.

I use it and I don't notice anything. I do drink water after using it, like I was advised to do. Normal water though, from the faucet.
