The best inhaler for bronchial inflammation are corticosteroid inhalers such as mometasone, budesonide or fluticaseone.

These inhaled corticosteroid inhalers help with bronchial inflammation by reducing airway swelling.

Even short acting bronchodilators such as albuterol can help provide quick relief for bronchial inflammation.

Inhaled corticosteroids reduce swelling and tightening in the airways.

And you might need to use the inhaled corticosteroids for several months before you get the maximum benefits from them.

Other inhaled corticosteroids are Annuity, Ellipta and Flovent.

Bronchial inflammation is a condition in which your airways also known as the bronchi become inflamed which leads to swelling and mucus production.

causes of bronchial inflammation include viral infections such as the flu or common cold, bacterial infections such as pneumonia, allergic reactions, air pollution and smoking or being around smoke.

Symptoms of bronchial inflammation include, persistent coughing, often with mucus production, wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, sore throat, body aches and in some cases fever.

The types of bronchial inflammation are acute bronchitis which is a short term inflammation and often lasts a couple of weeks.

And chronic bronchitis which is long term inflammation which lasts for around 3 months, a year or 2 consecutive years.

Treating bronchial inflammation involves rest, over the counter medications, such as decongestants, antihistamines, pain relievers and antibiotics if viral as well as inhaled corticosteroids.

And in severe cases of bronchial inflammation you may require hospitalization and have oxygen therapy and other supportive measures.
