The Pulmonology Service of the Hospital Escuela de Agudos “Dr. Ramon Madariaga” recommends to the population on care against changes in climate and temperatureboth for healthy patients and for those with previous respiratory diseases.
In this sense, the person in charge of the aforementioned service, Dr. Susana Azcona, mentioned: “with these climate changes we are having consultations for upper airway diseases, which we see more frequently in these times. Increases congestion, flu and cold symptoms at different levels of severity.”
Regarding patients without previous respiratory pathologies, lThe professional stressed that in general these are mild infections, with pictures of headache, throat, congestion, which improve quickly. As for those people with respiratory complications such as allergies, asthma, COPD, the impact of viral pictures can have more repercussions.
It must always be taken into account that these patients must be well medicated and controlled, so that when there are changes in weather and viral circulation, no airway or lung complications are generated ”
Likewise, Azcona emphasized prevention: “we have to consider vaccination. To avoid severe pneumonia, they should receive the vaccine in two doses and then the booster every five years. There is also a vaccine for the flu. Always consult the doctor beforehand and avoid having a viral picture when applying them.” These vaccines are important for everyone, since they prevent viral pictures from being intense, especially for those who already have previous respiratory complications.
