🥶 It’s Chilly Out ! 🥶
Now that autumn’s arrived, the weather has changed and it’s much colder and windier outside.

Asthma can be seasonal, and the sudden drop in temperature can trigger asthma symptoms by irritating the airways and causing inflammation.
Here’s some of our Top Tips for managing your asthma during the autumn:

🍁Stay warm with a scarf 🧣wrapped loosely over your nose and mouth. This warms the air before you breathe it into your lungs.
🍁Take your anti inflammatory Preventer inhaler every day ✅ even if you feel okay. This protects against cold weather triggers and keeps airway inflammation 🫁 under control.
🍁 Book your/your child’s annual flu vaccination 🩼 The flu virus 🦠can attack the airway and lungs, so having the free NHS vaccination reduces the risk of the virus exacerbating their asthma.
🍁Vitamin D 💊 is really good for the colder season, when daylight hours are reduced. If your child takes a multivitamin, this should contain their recommended daily dose.
🍁Last but not least, ensure that your child’s asthma action plan🚦 is up to date, so you know how to safely manage their asthma.
