Fall/Winter Cold and Virus Season
As we enter the Fall/Winter cold and virus season, our asthma patients need to be diligent about using their inhalers for both prevention and treatment. For asthma patients, cold weather and respiratory illnesses can significantly impact their breathing and worsen asthma or trigger asthma symptoms. Increased exposure to indoor allergens such as pet dander/hair and dust mites can also exacerbate respiratory symptoms.
Vaccines for influenza, COVID, RSV, and pneumonia can help to reduce chances of getting infections. These vaccines are especially important for those patients with pre-existing respiratory disorders, such as asthma.
Regular use of daily controller medications is also important for our asthma patients with persistent symptoms. Inhaled corticosteroid inhalers with or without long-acting bronchodilators help to reduce the inflammatory process in the lungs to help prevent asthma flare-ups. Short-acting bronchodilators such as albuterol and levalbuterol help for more acute symptoms.
We offer evaluation and testing for respiratory symptoms and treatment options to include inhalers, biologics, and immunotherapy.
