Unfortunately, wildfire season is in full effect. Smoke and particles from wildfires can be aggravating to anyone, but are especially to those with compromised lungs.
HERE ARE A FEW SUGGESTIONS:
- Take all prescribed medications as directed.
- Stay inside with all windows closed, and USE YOUR HEPA AIR CLEANERS!
- Be sure to have a rescue inhaler on hand. Follow your asthma action plan or use it every 4-6 hours as needed.
- Consider leaving the area until the air quality has improved.
- Limit exercise outdoors, including yard work.
- Consider using a high quality face mask or respirator if outdoor exposure is unavoidable.
Please feel free to call if you have any questions. Have a safe and healthy summer!!!!!
