My asthma and allergy-related cough worsen in winter. How can I manage this?
Asked by Female, 37 · 2 months ago
To avoid flare-ups throughout the winter, use your inhaler or prescribed asthma treatments on a regular basis. Wear a scarf over your mouth and nose when you're outside, and keep your home warm, damp, and free of mold or dust. Steer clear of triggers like smoking, chilly air, or strong smells, and consult your physician if your symptoms get worse.
