Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion you should consult pulmonologist and get done PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) to see status of bronchitis. If the report is good then you should taper down silo first. Continue with bedmate. And again get done PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). If improvement is seen then taper bedmate. And don't worry about side effect of inhaler. They are very safe. Just make sure you are rinsing your mouth after use. So consult pulmonologist and discuss all these.
