Asthma is not just a summer diseaseMany people don’t realize that asthma is caused as much by cold weather as by hot.Watch your asthma this winterWhen summer is here an asthma child's parents are usually getting prepared for the worst. It is the time for high pollen counts that can cause havoc to an asthma sufferer. But the winter months can be just as bad, if not worse. Winter is the cold and flu season when everyone should be on their guard. If you or a family member has asthma, you need to take special precautions during these months to watch out for any symptoms developing that could increase the severity of an attack. There are more than 200 different strains of cold and flu virus for you to choose from that are known as Rhinoviruses. It is estimated that 80% of all children who have to be attended in hospital for attacks are suffering the effects of one these. If we only had rhinoviruses to contend with there wouldn't be such a big problem during winter. But if you add the three types of flu virus, viral infections, and parainfluenza to the list it can make winter seem like a never ending ordeal. The secret to an illness free winter is prevention. There are lots of things we can do to minimize the risk of catching a cold or flu and worsening our asthma. Keep a close eye on news reports in your area for epidemics and if possible try to steer clear of large crowds. If that means not taking your kids to a ball game, then so be it. The amazing thing about children who have asthma is that the majority of them are extremely responsible for their age and fully understand why they have to take special precautions. If you know of anyone in your circle of friends or relatives who are coming down with something ask them not to visit. Make it a habit of everyone in the household to regularly wash their hands with soap and hot water. Most viruses are spread this way. When we cough we have the habit of covering our mouths with our hands, but this only succeeds in moving the virus from one point to another. Coughing into a tissue then throwing it away is a much better option. Never forget to wash your hands before and after handling food, medication and going to the bathroom. If there is more than one asthma sufferer in your house don't allow them to share inhalers and make sure you clean them after use. Children don't have the immunities that adults have so are prone to this kind of illness. But by being better informed about asthma, and with common sense and good hygiene, the winter months can again become wonderful months. © Karon Beattie - http://www.cure-your-asthma.com About the Author - Karon Beattie is a former asthma sufferer.
