Always gargle your mouth after usage of pump or inhaler gargling removes the drug deposition on tongue and reduces risk of fungal infection.
Candida mouthpaint for a week and oral fluconazole once a week for 4 weeks can help treat fungal infection.
Instead of dry powder inhaler, metered dose inhaler which has the mist instead of powder as the drug is there. Which might reduce the drug deposition in tongue but we can't speculate whether it doesn't.

Chronic respiratory diseases like bronchial asthma, bronchiectasis, copd, sarcoidosis and interstitial lung disease are vulnerable to repeated infections and multiple hospital visits or admission.

The main reasons for the increased susceptibility is altered lung defence, use of steroids in various respiratory conditions and multiple comorbidities like diabetes and coronary disease.

Patients should ideally be vaccinated for pneumococcal and influenza disease routinely.

Am sorry to hear about the suffering your wife and you are going through. Palliative care can help both of you. Strong painkillers may be needed for her and we cannot prescribe those online. Please visit a palliative care center near you and they will make your lives easier.
If you wish, I can recommend some in sri lanka. You can call me for the same. No charge.
