Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
As a 35-year-old woman with asthma, I am growing increasingly concerned about managing my condition during the cold winter season. I have noticed that my symptoms tend to worsen, particularly when I catch a common cold. I want to ask the following questions:
Could you offer guidance on effectively handling asthma triggers in winter?
Additionally, are there specific precautions or medications I should consider to prevent exacerbations?
I want to ensure I am well-prepared to maintain optimal respiratory health during the colder months. Kindly help.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I can understand your concern.
Follow the instructions below:
Take the annual flu vaccine to prevent recurrent colds.
Start warm water gargles and steam inhalation four to five times a day whenever there is a season change.
Eat a healthy diet, and avoid oily and spicy food. Avoid junk food. Avoid cold stuff like ice cream, cold drinks, and soda.
I hope this helps. Feel free to contact me if you have any further queries.
Thank you.
