Doctors say don’t ignore symptoms
DOCTORS are urging Australians not to ignore hay fever symptoms, particularly asthmatics, as allergy season begins. Bupa’s Dr. Tony MacDermott warns that hay fever, affecting 1 in 5 Australians, can worsen asthma, potentially leading to serious health issues if untreated. Symptoms of hay fever and asthma can overlap, making diagnosis challenging. Dr. MacDermott advises consulting a GP for proper treatment and ensuring asthma prevention measures, like checking inhalers, are up-to-date.
