why does asthma lead to more infections?
I have asthma and noticed I would sometimes get more infections.
why does asthma lead to more infections? asthma is an autoimmune disease so shouldn't your immune system be stronger or is your IS somehow messed up in asthma?
I was taking a lot of antibiotics, cipro, doxy, amoxicilin and isoprinosine
asthma seems to be allergic since after returning home after a while I had no symptoms for one month until I got sick and started having asthma/sleep apnea

will zithromax and other drugs not work for me in the future since I took it for 6 weeks?
I think that pollution, car exhaust triggers my asthma. Is there anything to do about that?
even on dulera and prednisone right now my asthma isn't controlled and I get headaches- for me mucus isn't a problem
it's like somehow the veins in my head constrict?

Expectorants are medications to help loosen and cough up reactive mucus and include guaiac, licorice, and newer chemicals. They are found in Mucinex and other over the counter medications. The pharmacist can also compound expectorants. Some asthmatics who smoke firmly believe cigarette smoke is a helpful irritant. Having enough water in our bodies is necessary to keep mucus loose enough to move. As I get older, I am more dehydrated. Using steamy showers and humidifiers is another way of keeping mucus loose and decreasing bronchospasms. Sometimes a brief cold air outdoor walk actually helps. Too much of a cough suppressant over the counter medicine sometimes can make respiratory conditions worse.
As well as desensitization injections, dust mite allergies are helped with dust-proofing first the bedroom and then the house. Outdoor exercise in clean air improves your health.
Get someone else to vacuum and dust your bedroom if you can at least twice a year. Adding mattress protectors and pillow protectors to your bedding can help. Linens need to be changed at least weekly. Dustproof your house by removing draperies, carpet and throw pillows. We like venetian blinds and honeycomb shades. I mist dusty floors and sweep them with a broom before rev-ving up the dusty vacuum cleaner. Change vacuum cleaner bags often. Clothes can be hung in vinyl cases in your closet. Using the internet for other great ideas is helpful.
