尤其是对那些患有哮喘的人来说，保持肺部健康是当务之急。
阿灵顿高地,病了。(2020年9月10日)-受苦的人Asthma is a chronic, inflammatory lung disease characterized by recurrent breathing problems. People with asthma have acute episodes where the air passages in their lungs get narrower, and breathing becomes more difficult. Sometimes episodes of asthma are triggered by allergens, although infection, exercise, cold air and other factors are also important triggers." rel="tooltip">哮喘是最容易受到流感影响的人群。今年，随着COVID-19继续传播，任何哮喘患者都要注射流感疫苗，以保持健康，远离医院，这比以往任何时候都更加重要。
“2019冠状病毒病和常规季节性流感构成了双重威胁，”美国医学院院长、过敏症专科医师J. Allen Meadows医学博士说Allergies are inappropriate or exaggerated reactions of the immune system to substances that, in the majority of people, cause no symptoms. Symptoms of the allergic diseases may be caused by exposure of the skin to a chemical, of the respiratory system to particles of dust or pollen (or other substances), or of the stomach and intestines to a particular food." rel="tooltip">过敏哮喘与免疫学(ACAAI)。任何哮喘病患者都必须非常小心，避免首先感染流感。如果他们真的感染了流感，他们可能需要医疗来预防严重疾病甚至死亡。”
流感会引起增加Inflammation is the redness, swelling, heat and pain in a tissue due to chemical or physical injury, or to infection. It is a characteristic of allergic reactions in the nose, lungs, and skin." rel="tooltip">炎症对于那些已经在与肿胀和敏感的气道作斗争的人来说。这会导致肺炎和其他严重的呼吸道疾病，并使哮喘症状恶化。因为流感症状和COVID-19的症状可以相互反映，发烧、严重的身体疼痛、疲劳、喉咙痛和干咳同时出现是很常见的。梅多斯博士说:“哮喘是因流感住院的儿童中最常见的疾病，也是住院的成年人中最常见的疾病之一。在大流行期间住院是你应该避免的事情。”
最后，ACAAI希望任何对鸡蛋过敏的人都知道，接种流感疫苗不需要特别的预防措施。许多对鸡蛋过敏的人错误地认为他们不允许接种流感疫苗，或者他们必须在过敏专科医生的办公室里接种疫苗。因为这种疫苗只含有微量的鸡蛋，它对所有人都是安全的，包括那些对鸡蛋过敏的人，不需要特别预防。

Immunotherapy involves giving gradually increasing doses of the substance, or allergen, to which the person is allergic. The incremental increases of the allergen cause the immune system to become less sensitive to the substance, perhaps by causing production of a particular "blocking" antibody, which reduces the symptoms of allergy when the substance is encountered in the future." rel="tooltip">免疫疗法，并为患者提供最佳的治疗结果。欲了解更多信息并寻求缓解，请访问AllergyandAsthmaRelief.org．加入我们脸谱网，Pinterest和推特．
