A member asked:
Do you know of any air purifiers that you would recommend to prevent pneumonia and other related lung issues?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many: First ; foremost stop smoking. Secondly stay away from people who do smoke no matter what they are smoking. Purchase a room air purifier that will filter the air in your home. Try on line or stores like best buy, costco, b.J. Etc make sure you get a flu shot every year. Wash your hands frequently. Stay away from people who cough ; don't cover their nose ; mouth. Get a pneumonia immunization.
