Hoarseness may occur if steroid residue from your inhaler irritates your throat or causes a fungal infection. Rinse your mouth and gargle with water after using your inhaler. Speak less if your voice is strained, and consider using a spacer device to ensure the medication reaches your lungs rather than your throat. If your hoarseness does not improve, please consult your doctor for advice.
