“Since the tightening of measures aimed in particular at restricting travel, questions continue to flow to the Asthma & Allergies Info Service toll-free number 0800 19 20 21,” said the association.
“The appellants’ concerns are particularly focused on the respiratory signs of the Coronavirus and how to differentiate them from those of asthma.”
To pay attention
In case of respiratory problems therefore, you will have to be on the lookout.
In fact, think about Covid-19 only if the symptoms you experience are different from what you might usually experience.
“Indeed, the spring period usually poses a problem for people allergic to the arrival of pollens: rhinitis, conjunctivitis and asthma frequently causing coughing and wheezing. “
These symptoms can be confused with those of the coronavirus. In addition, not all asthmatics present the same risk when faced with this viral disease like Covid.
A well-controlled mild asthmatic who does not require substantive therapy, “probably does not have the same risk of complications as a severe asthmatic whose asthma is poorly controlled despite optimal treatment.”
People with severe asthma are among those at risk.
