my mother-in-law has COPD and was exposed to blown fiberglass.. It is all over the laundry room, where I found out today that I have an allergic reaction on my skin! No fun... I don t have any respiratory issues (so far), but I am very concerned for her. What , if anything can we do?

Hello, Welcome to HCM, As your mother in-law is having COPD, exposure to any of the allergen to which she is sensitive there will be acute exacerbation of the symptoms of COPD. So avoid exposure to these allergen, if she is sensitive to fiber glasses you can give her 1. Bronchodilator inhalation having steroid and bronchodialator. 2. Oral Antihistamines like Montek LC as it is a safe drug. But these medications should be taken only after consulting your doctor. Thank you.
