Because asthma is a disease that can be cured, but rather is controlled, it is important to avoid all factors that may trigger. Below are some things you can do and things to avoid in seasons when pollen and mold appear frequently as it is in winter and spring:
* Keep your windows closed at night to prevent pollens or molds from entering the house.
* Reduce activities early in the morning because pollen is usually emitted between 5 and 10 am
* Keep your car windows closed when traveling
* Do not mow or be placed near freshly cut grass
* Do not sweep leaves to rake.
Crisis
The measures taken depend on the degree of asthma. They can range from using a bronchodilator to the immediate need of hospitalization.
Failure to act properly, the patient runs the risk of even death by respiratory arrest. Although not common this type of death, yes there are several. In 2001, the World Health Organization reported that in 250 deaths, one was for asthma.
