ABSTRACT

The symptoms of COVID-19 are very similar to those of asthmatic or allergic patients, they can be confused by coughing, feeling tired, shortness of breath or rhinorrhea, it is important to mention that two conditions can coexist. The presence of wheezing and the response to treatment is what makes the difference in an asthmatic patient. The asthmatic patient is in the highest risk group, having a chronic lung disease so he must be in constant communication with his specialist doctor to avoid triggers of asthmatic attacks.
