prof. Dr. Ahmet Akçay talked about what asthma patients who are in the risk group against coronavirus should do.
“Asthma patients do not necessarily need to wear a mask, but it is beneficial to wear a mask when going to high-risk hospitals and using public transport. Other people should be avoided. Hands should be soaped frequently. Sprays containing cortisone do not weaken immunity, but oral cortisone drugs can weaken it. Sprays containing cortisone can be used under the supervision of a doctor. In the case of persistent fever, if there is no cold, and if the cough is without sputum, you can contact “Hello 184” and get information about the test at home.”
