Hello ma'am, I'm sorry to read about your troubles! The first line of treatment will be nasal hygiene with a saline solution such as Hydrasense or Sinus Rinse which can be done as often as needed during the day and at least 30 minutes before bedtime. This is the ultimate treatment to reduce congestion that can contribute to loss of smell, discharge and coughing.
I also encourage you to drink plenty of fluids, cold or hot depending on your preference.
As for your inhalers, you will have to redirect your question to your pharmacist who will be in a better position to answer you because he/she has all the information related to the prescription.
Sincerely,
Tom Samaha, pharmacist
