Managing viral infections and asthma (AAH)
Management of viral infections/cold and asthma:
– ensure instructions about managing asthma at the onset of a cold are described in an Asthma Action Plan
– some patients with asthma may be sensitive to aspirin and/or NSAIDs (e.g. ibuprofen): do not take aspirin or NSAIDS if you have experienced runny nose or wheezing within 1-2 hours of taking these medications in the past. Taking these could worsen your asthma symptoms.
