Identifying the Signs and Symptoms of Mold Sickness

Prevention. Antifungal medications are commonly given to patients who have the symptoms of mold sickness. But antibiotics may be needed too if a lung infection develops from breathing in the mold spores. While both of these treatments are highly effective, the recovery period is long and cumbersome. So it is best to always try to prevent the health problems from occurring in the first place. This can be done by repairing any water leaks in the home, which could lead to the growth of mold. And any existing mold should be removed quickly by a professional who specializes in mold problems. The HVAC system should also be cleaned regularly to ensure that mold doesn’t begin to grow inside it.
