Having a cold

Having a cold makes it difficult for every one to breathe. If you have asthma, a cold can make your asthma worse. Avoid contact with anyone who has cold symptoms. Wash your hands regularly, and keep your hands away from your eyes, nose and mouth. Get your rest and be sure to eat and drink plenty of water. Your doctor may want you to get a flu shot. (They don’t hurt.) If you have a cold, check with your doctor to see if using a vaporizer at night will help you breathe easier. Too much moisture can trigger your asthma, so be sure to allow the room to dry out during the day.
