Doctor's Prescription might be harmful for me?

I went to my family doctor with the complaint of producing more sputum than normal for 3 years. I thought there might be something wrong with my lungs. However, I have no breathing problems. The doctor said that he was listening to my lungs with a stethoscope and that he was fine and said I don't need an X-ray. But he gave me the nasal spray medicine. When I said that there was no change after 1 week, he prescribed different drugs. I was a little scared when I saw that these drugs are used for asthma patients. That's why I wanted to get your opinion before using it.

pms- Fluticasone HFA

teva- Salbutamol HFA

He stated that if these drugs also did not work, I might be allergic to dust and he could suggest medications for it.

"I was a little scared when I saw that these drugs are used for asthma patients."
Hi, we can say they are *also* used for asthma -  besides for what you have. Or we could say they are used to treat the lining of the airway, from nose to lungs. The lining is what produces the mucus.

So there was no mistake.

The 1st is a steroid, the 2nd is a sort of anti-airway-inflammation drug.
