 | |  |  | Weather, Climate & The Environment: KL HAZE august: asthmatics | |  |  | |  |
hello there. 1stly, I understand your concern as a mother, on your daughter's wellbeing. Based on the literature out there and personal experience of walking around in kl, the KL haze during august is not as bad as it is thought to be. many other asian cities are having the same problem that time of year, though kl maybe less. In my personal view, there shouldnt be any serious health problem. but she can take precautions eg drinking a lot of water (heat&humidity factor), and have her medications with her at all times. its also good to have her family doctor(GP)prescribe her any anticipatory drug alongside her usual medicine (just in case ie antihistamines inhalers etc).
A friend from ireland with a bad asthma came to malaysia a few years ago, although took her a day or so to acclimatize, she did very well in our weather.
Plus, KL is a big city, with a lot of public n private healthcare available and accessible by many. i would be more worried if she's in the more rural area of malaysia. there are many walk-in clinics, and quite a lot in kl, 24hr ones avaiable should she find herself in trouble.
and KL has a lot of airconditioned buildings.Malls, hotels, restaurant, so many that one can go about in kl without even exposed to the hot humid air.
wow, im rambling too much. in short, ure not worrying unnecessarily. its a justifiable concern. like any mother would. Im sure she'll do fine. she will do great.
hope this helps.
cheers
