Ɔkwan bɛn so na wobɛkwati nneɛma a ɛkanyan ayamtu a ɛma ayamtu no mu yɛ den bere a woretu kwan no?

Asthma triggers, yɛfrɛ no ``Triggers,'' wobetumi ahu wɔ baabiara. Wubetumi ahyia wɔn ansa na woadu baabi a worekɔ no mpo. Susuw ho hwɛ, ɛnyɛ keteke ne bɔs nkutoo mu, na mmom wɔ wo kar mu mpo wɔ fie , ebia mfutuma ne nsunsu bɛba nkongua, kapet, ne mframa a wɔde fa mu no so. Eyinom na ɛkanyan ayamtu wɔ nnipa pii mu.

Sɛ yɛbɛka no tiawa a, sɛ wunim nea wo ``Triggers'' yɛ ankasa a, ɛyɛ papa sɛ wobɛkwati.

Enti, ma wo home a ɛma ahotɔ ntɛmntɛm no nkɔ baabi a ɛnyɛ den sɛ wubenya bere nyinaa. Sɛ wonom nnuru a wɔde sa ayamtu da biara da a, ɛho hia sɛ wonom daa ansa na woatu kwan ne bere a woatu kwan no.

Hwɛ yiye wɔ saa nneɛma yi ho bere a wode kar retu kwan no.

• Sɛ wode kar rekɔ a, ka kyerɛ ofirikafo no sɛ onbue mfɛnsere no na ɔnsɔ AC anaa heater no bɛyɛ simma 10 ansa na woakɔ mu.Saa kwan no so no, mfutuma ne mframa a asɛe a ɛwɔ mu no bi beyi afi hɔ.
• Sɛ pollen anaa mframa mu efĩ rema wo ayamtu no ayɛ kɛse a, to mfɛnsere no mu na fa AC no to ``Recirculate mode'' mu wɔ nna a saa nneɛma no pii wɔ nneɛma a atwa yɛn ho ahyia no mu. Eyi bɛma mframa a mfutuma wom a efi abɔnten ba no so atew.

Kae saa nneɛma yi bere a woretu wimhyɛn no.

Ebia nnipa a wɔwɔ ayamtu behyia ɔhaw nketenkete bere a wɔretu kwan wɔ wimhyɛn mu no.

• Mframa a ɛwɔ wimhyɛn mu no yɛ kusuu paa. Saa ɔpɛ a ɛyɛ hyew yi nso betumi ama ayamtu ayɛ kɛse. Enti fa wo inhaler a ɛma ahotɔ ntɛmntɛm no to wo nsam na mma wo werɛ mmfi sɛ wobɛnom nsu pii.

Hwɛ yiye wɔ sigaretnom nso ho.

Sigaret wusiw pira nnipa a wɔwɔ ayamtu kɛse.

• Wɔ aman dodow no ara mu no, wɔabara sigaretnom wɔ aguadi wimhyɛn adwumayɛkuw ahorow mu. Nanso, ebia wimhyɛn ahorow bi a wɔde fa nnipa ma wɔma kwan ma wɔnom sigaret. Sɛ worefa wimhyɛn a ɛte saa mu a, di kan bisa wɔn sigaretnom ho nhyehyɛe no ho asɛm.
• Bere biara a ɛbɛyɛ yiye no, bisa baabi a wobɛtra wɔ ɔfã a wɔnnom sigaret no.

Ɔkwan bɛn so na wobɛkwati nneɛma a ɛma ayamtu mu yɛ den bere a woda hɔ anadwo no?

Sɛ́ ebia woda ahɔhodan mu, wo busuani bi fie, anaa w’adamfo bi fie no, nneɛma a atwa wo ho ahyia wɔ hɔ nso betumi aka wo ayamtu no.

Sɛ wo te ahɔhodan bi mu a...

• Bisa dan a hann wom yiye, ɛhɔ yɛ kusuu, na ɛne ahɔhodan no asuguarebea no ntam kwan ware kakra. Ɛda adi sɛ nsunsu nyin wɔ mmeae a ɛhɔ yɛ nwini, na nnipa binom hu sɛ nnuru te sɛ chlorine a atwa asuguarebea ho ahyia no hua nyɛ dɛ.
• Sɛ wo ho yɛ wo hyew wɔ mmoa a ɛma wo ho yɛ wo hyew ho a, bisa dan a afieboa nni mu.

• Ebia wɔrentumi nyi mfutuma anaa nsunsu mfi hɔ koraa, nanso sɛ ɛbɛyɛ yiye a, wubetumi aka akyerɛ wɔn sɛ wɔmfa mframa, mfutuma, na wɔmfa nsu nkɔ wo mpa mu yiye.
• Sɛ wo ho nyɛ wo dɛ wɔ kyɛnere a ɛyɛ huam, potpourri, ne aerosol (titiriw mframa a wɔde tew mframa ho) ho a, fi ayamye mu bisa sɛ wɔmfa nni dwuma bere a wote hɔ no.

Twe wo ho fi sigaret wusiw ne e-sigaret nsu a ɛyɛ hyew ho, sɛnea wobɛyɛ wɔ fie no ara pɛ. Sɛ obi renom sigaret anaasɛ ɔrenom vaping a, ka kyerɛ no sɛ ɔnyɛ saa wɔ abɔnten, titiriw sɛ wo ne wɔn wɔ dan koro mu a. Afei nso, wusiw a efi nnua gya mu no betumi ayɛ ɔhaw ama wo.

Dɛn bio na wopɛ sɛ wuhu?

Akwantu yɛ hokwan kɛse a wode benya osuahu foforo, nanso ɛsɛ sɛ wususuw ayamtu ho nso.

• Kae nea ɛkanyan wo ayamtu bere nyinaa na bɔ mmɔden sɛ wobɛtwe wo ho afi ho sɛnea wubetumi biara.

Akwamma yɛ bere a wode gye w’ahome na w’ani gye. Sɛ wowɔ ayamtu mpo a, ɛnsɛ sɛ esiw w’anigye kwan.

Sɛ woyɛ nhyehyɛe pa na woma nneɛma a ɛho hia no bɛn wo a, wo nso wubetumi anya akwantu bi mu anigye a worenhaw wo ho.

Kae sɛ, di nneɛma yi akyi:

• Di wo ayamtu no so ansa na woatu kwan. Sɛ ɛho hia a, kɔ wo duruyɛfo nkyɛn.
• Hwɛ hu sɛ wode nneɛma a ɛho hia te sɛ nnuru, afiri a wɔde home, afiri a ɛma ntam kwan (sɛ wode bi redi dwuma a), ne ayamtu ho adeyɛ ho nhyehyɛe bɛba. Fa eyinom nyinaa sie wo bag a wode kɔ baabiara mu.
