Asthma and H1N1
People who are asthmatic have reported somewhat more difficult bouts of H1N1 virus when they get struck by the illness. As we have mentioned before, proper respiratory care will be able to lessen the effects of the illness and will get people back into good health much faster than they otherwise would. For asthmatic people, this is especially important. Just because you are sick doesn’t mean that you can simply forget your normal care procedures. It also doesn’t mean you’re out of the woods. Especially with all the fluid buildup that people discuss with this kind of illness, it might even become more likely to have an asthma attack. Of course, it doesn’t guarantee it, but you should be on the watchout for it whenever you’re sick with any kind of flu or pneumonia. In a few months, we’ll be able to report more information about the illness, once the numbers are fully in.
