Asthma
Asthma is a chronic lung disease where the tissue and airways of the lungs become extremely sensitive to certain substances. When these substances are breathed in, the lungs become inflamed. The muscles around the airways tighten and squeeze the lungs, and passages within the lungs swell and tighten. The airways themselves produce mucus, which further clogs the tightened, swollen airways. A person having an asthma attack finds it very difficult to breathe, and a severe attack can even be fatal.
Asthma affects people of all ages, but people with asthma are most often diagnosed as children. Symptoms can include wheezing, a tight feeling in the chest, shortness of breath, and coughing. Some people have mild symptoms all the time, and some people have no symptoms at all, but everyone with asthma is susceptible to occasional severe attacks or flare-ups of symptoms when they are exposed to triggers. Triggers vary widely but can include:
Treatment for most asthma patients involves three steps. Patients learn what their asthma triggers are and avoid them. They take a daily control medication, usually an inhaled corticosteroid, to reduce inflammation in the lungs. Also, they have rescue medication with them at all times to take in case of a severe attack. These quick-acting inhaled medications relax the muscles around the airways and allow the lungs to open up for air.
There is no cure for asthma, but with treatment it should not interfere with daily life and activities.

I scheduled a follow up appointment for my daughter which was already a 4 month wait to even get back in to see Dr. Bailey. 4 months goes by and I receive an email two days before her appointment with forms to complete and a notification that proof of COVID vaccine was a requirement for our in person appointment. First heard for me despite speaking with someone to schedule the appointment in the first place and again earlier this month when I called to confirm the details of our appointment to ensure I had documented it on my calendar correctly. After informing the office that I am vaccinated yet my 2 yr old daughter is not, they called me and stated they would need to reschedule our appointment to be virtual. Adding insult to injury, they offered me a completely different time the same day or something a week later after I have already adjusted my schedule in order to make our current time work. How is a doctor supposed to make a full assessment if they NEVER see a patient in person? And a toddler at that. You can’t see clearly over computer video screen to evaluate her skin reactions. If I had known we would have to have a virtual appointment 4 months ago I would have found someone else to address my daughter’s allergy concerns and she wouldn’t have had to suffer for so long. I am beyond disappointed with this doctor and her office. They clearly do not care that much about their patients.
