Colorado’s “September epidemic” of asthma attacks is expected to return after two relatively quiet years as almost all kids are back in school now and, in most cases, without masks.
For some people with asthma, viruses that infect the upper respiratory tract may be a trigger, in the same way that pollen, pollution or strenuous exercise can be, said Dr. Carah Santos, an allergist and immunologist at National Jewish Health in Denver.
Amelia Pierce, of Franktown, said her two children typically do well over the summer with just a rescue inhaler for emergencies, but during the school year, they use daily medication to keep down inflammation in their lungs. This year, her 7-year-old son Fynn’s doctor said he could try going without the daily medication so long as he feels well, but to start using it again at the first sign of illness.
“When do get sick, hopefully it will keep them out of the hospital,” she said. “Even just the common cold could set off their asthma.” Bob McDonald, executive director of the Denver Department of Public Health and Environment, said it’s possible Colorado could have more flu activity this year after two mild seasons. It’s going to be important for people to get their flu shots and stay up to date on any boosters they qualify for, he said.
