Severe asthma use nebulizer question. if need to use nebulizer in car after shopping walmart or big store, would it increase risk sending virus particles in the air in lungs when used ? any suggestions thank you?

No, you should not worry about that. Taking inhalation therapy such as hand held inhaler does have that harmful effect.

A review of your asthma plan is recommended. If you experience asthma symptoms with mild exertion, another controller or med dose adjustment recommended. Avoid smoke, have a COVID-19 and Flu vaccination. The nebulizer may be used, keep window slightly open.

How does the nCoV corona virus actually kill you? Do your lungs close up like an asthma attack? Do your lungs fill up with pus or fill up with mucus?
