Side effects of inhaled steroids include pharyngeal irritation, sore throat, cough, dry mouth, oral fungal infections, and sinusitis. Pneumonia is not a side effect of an inhaled steroid medication.

Clinical manifestations of Raynaud's disease include venospasms; pain; cyanosis; redness; numb, cold extremities; and swelling. Elevated blood pressure, absent peripheral pulses, and varicose veins are not associated with this disorder.
