I am suffering badly with my asthma at the moment and I have a really chesty cough. My chest rattles and am really wheezy. I am also coughing up lumps of large green phlegm. Sorry TMI. My GP wanted to give me antibiotics but I am virtually allergic to them. Most make me very sick. The mauve inhaler is to replace the brown 'becotide' and I will have two puffs twice a day. The ventolin I have as required. Does anyone know anything about the purple inhaler? Thanks in advance. EJ
