Important points to Remember
Make sure your asthma is going as well as possible before you leave.
Ask your doctor for a letter about severity of your asthma, listing the medications you are taking and why – this is useful if you become unwell while you’re away.
Ask your doctor about making the switch to a simpler puffer and spacer device instead of a nebulizer.
Ensure your nebulizer can be used on the plane – discuss this with the airline well in advance
Where possible, take with you all the medication you will require, as well as some extra to be safe. Carry your medication in your hand luggage and spare supplies in your suitcase.
If you have any allergies, warn airlines or resorts of any food intolerances well ahead of departure. If you have experienced anaphylaxis, make sure yourself-administered adrenaline
(EpiPen or AnaPen) is with you.
Note: people with asthma should not scuba dive.
