This virus thingy

I feel bloody awful and I'm only on day 1.
Just wondering though, can I take a blue inhaler for the cough I have?
The inhaler isn't mine, it was perscribed to my daughter who doesn't need or use it.
Would there be any side affects or will it just help me a bit?

My son has a blue inhaler and I had and still have slightly a rotten cough. I had 2 puffs of the inhaler the other day (I've had an inhaler previously prescribed before but never really used it!) And it kind of helped. Have you had an inhaler before? I don't think there would be any harm in trying. Could be wrong because I'm no medical pro. but y' know I risked it for a biscuit x

It all depends what's causing the cough. If you use a blue inhaler and you don't need it, it won't help your cough and the side effects can be racing heart and feeling breathless.

I wouldn't. Get some proper medical advice.
