Doc prescribed me both a preventative puffer to take for the next couple weeks and the normal blue one. I just had the blue puffer earlier and I feel like I can breathe again! And barely any cough. I didn’t realise how constricted my breathing was until now.

Hoping this is seasonal and will be gone once pollen season is over 🤞

I hope so too, my cat has asthma attacks and allergies plus I've been having a bit of it as well.

Wearing masks can apparently help filter out some of the pollen which helps. I've been keeping a door cracked (screen locked) for fresh air but may need to stop doing that. And will have to check if aircons pulling in pollen from outside is a myth
