KCTV Kansas City, MO is reporting that visiting an allergy specialist is a routine part of Matthew Quest’s summer, especially this year.
“It’s usually the summers are a time when we can get off a lot of our medicines and he’s still having to take his inhibitors everyday and his allergy medicine. It’s different especially the past couple of weeks,” said Alisa Quest, Matthew’s mom.
“It’s like I can’t breathe and I feel like I have to go in my house and get my inhaler and take it. Or tell my mom or dad,” said Matthew.
Doctors like Christina Ciaccio say Matthew isn’t alone. Children’s Mercy Hospital’s emergency department has seen a spike in asthma attacks with the unusually hot temperatures and high pollen count that normally disappears this time every year. Besides the hot temperatures, there are also the man-made factors.
“It’s difficult to escape from ozone because it can go straight into the house just as easily as it is outdoors,” said Ciaccio.
Ciaccio suggests sticking to the routine your doctor prescribes but, for asthma patients, staying active is a must if you want to breathe easy.
“For a person like Matthew, it’s more important than any other kid to exercise on a regular basis and Matthew does a wonderful job keeping his lungs as fit as can be,” said Ciaccio.
Ciaccio also suggests when the temperatures cool down, open the windows in your house to let out toxins such as cleaning chemicals. It can help improve the ozone indoors as well.
