Pregnancy and Asthma: Communicating With Your Doctor

A lot of times patients will do it for like a week or two. Then they, because it's cumbersome. Then they're back in the office again saying, "I'm sick again."
PAUL MONIZ: Dr. Zafra, closing comments from you. What advice would you have for patients dealing with these indoor allergens?
HEIDI ZAFRA, MD: Basically making your environment nice and clean cuts down your symptoms and cuts down your need for medication. If you can't totally keep your environment clean, you can either have medication, or you can have immunotherapy. There are many options for people with a lot of allergies, especially those with severe allergies and asthma, to help their symptoms. But, really, good environmental control makes a big difference in their quality of life.
PAUL MONIZ: All right, some good advice. Thank you very much, Dr. Heidi Zafra. We appreciate your time. Dr. Morris Nejat, yours as well. We thank you for joining us on this webcast. Just like your Mom told you: Keep the place clean, and you'll feel better. I'm Paul Moniz.
