Runny Nose May Increase Your Risk Of Developing Asthma

In this entry, I would like to discuss some recent findings on the association with "rhinitis" - inflammation of the nasal passages that often causes runny nose and congestion -- and asthma.

Meet Joe Goofus: The Asthmatic You Don't Want To Be (But Probably Are)

Joe Goofus means well, but he often neglects his asthma care plan and needlessly ends up in the emergency room for asthma.   It's not that he is a bad person, he just likes to have fun.
