Although Asthma is a disease that can be explained and it is usually caught during childhood, there is no medical definite as to what causes a person to be afflicted with it. This aliment, simply put, is the irritation of the airways that can result in wheezing and shortness of breath.
Due to this condition of the lungs, symptoms such as wheezing and shortness of breath can be trigger by several things and some of these things are:
Viral Infections
These are sicknesses such as a cold, flu and a sore throat.
Weather
Sometimes the weather can be too hot, too cold, or perhaps too windy, for a child who has this disease and it is not under control yet.
Exercises
Here again, if your child's asthma is not under control, exercising can cause them to cough uncontrollably, only to be followed by difficulty breathing. Exercising also borderline playing activities such as tag and follow the leader.
Stress
Increasingly, children are faced with stressful situations and their home and school life and or a sporting group, can be the trigger of the stress.
Smoke
The smoke from a tobacco product, such as a cigarette, the fumes from a vehicle and from burning trash, such as papers, can affect an asthmatic child.
Household Odors
This can be air freshener, insect repellents and cleaning solutions.
A few other things such as animal danger, mould, plants and flowers also triggers and although this is a chronic (lifelong) condition, these symptoms can be brought under control to the point that its symptoms no longer appear, with the help of a doctor.
