@jenblalock Hello Jen. @heathert Heather is right, ibuprophen helps to alleviate inflammation. Inflammation of the lungs is a common occurence for us. Some factors besides just having a disease are air quality issues. Some things that can cause inflammation are things in the air like scented candles, scented laundry detergent, deoderants, etc. There are 'silent' pollutants too; especially at this time of year. Be wary of shopping malls. They are overloaded with fresh merchandise that off-gass all kinds of chemicals that were applied overseas, along with many perfume samples being sprayed. I don't know how many of you have experienced burning eyes and asthma like symptoms while X-mas shopping. My point being, be cautious to airborne triggers, especially around this holiday.
