Health Tip: Traveling Despite Asthma and Allergies

(HealthDay News) -- Traveling can expose you to new triggers for allergies and asthma, but planning ahead can help you breathe a bit easier while you're away.

The American Academy of Allergy Asthma & Immunology offers these travel suggestions:

  • Pack your asthma and allergy meds in carry-on bags, and keep them in their original containers.
  • Continue to take your medications on schedule as directed by your doctor.
  • Prepare for potential problems, such as food allergies.
  • Keep contact information for your allergist and an emergency contact handy.
  • If possible, find an allergist at your travel destination.
