Q: What should I do to prepare for my respiratory care appointment?

A: To make the most of your appointment, note when your symptoms began and how they've changed, track your temperature if you've had a fever, list any medications or remedies you've already tried, and bring a list of all current medications and supplements. This information helps us provide the most effective and personalized care for your respiratory condition.
