Winter in China, especially in the northern provinces, often sees an increase in respiratory diseases, among which Human Metapneumovirus (HMPV) has been attracting attention recently. As a respiratory specialist with more than 10 years of experience at Shanghai People's Hospital, I would like to share my knowledge about HMPV, how to recognize the symptoms, and effective preventive measures to protect you and your family this winter.

Asthma is a chronic respiratory disease that affects millions of people worldwide, including in China. Winter, with its cold air and the increase in infectious diseases such as influenza or HMPV, often aggravates asthma symptoms. As Dr. Zhang Weiming, with more than a decade of experience in the respiratory field at Shanghai People's Hospital, I would like to share effective asthma management methods so that you can get through the winter safely and healthily.
