ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, IL (Dec. 8, 2020) – You already downsized your Thanksgiving due to COVID-19, and now you’re contemplating a smaller celebration for the holidays. Unfortunately, your allergies and asthma still need full scale precautions to get you through the season.
“This year’s holidays will definitely look and feel different from years past,” says allergist Luz Fonacier, MD, president of the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI). “Although having a big family celebration is on everyone’s wish list, it probably won’t be happening due to COVID-19 precautions. But allergies and asthma don’t follow a holiday schedule and will still need your attention to keep symptoms under control. Being symptom-free will make your holidays cheerier and brighter.”
These five tips from ACAAI can help you have a safe, fun, symptom-free holiday season.
If you are struggling with allergies or asthma, find an allergist to diagnose and treat your symptoms and to work with you to create an individual action plan. An allergist can help you live the life you want. To find an allergist in your area, use the ACAAI allergist locator tool.
