Does pediatric bronchial asthma have anything to do with the season?

Patient's question:

My child is over 9 years old this year. Since catching a cold, coughing, and having a fever two years ago, he has developed bronchial asthma. Whenever the season changes and the weather gets colder, he gets sick.

Doctor's answer:

Bronchial asthma has a certain relationship with seasonal changes. During the cold season, the incidence rate increases because the climate changes in autumn and winter are more frequent and abrupt, and viral respiratory infections are also more common. Some sensitization suggestions about pollen indicate that the concentration increases in spring and autumn. When the temperature and humidity are high, it is easy for bacteria to multiply; when the air pressure is low, pollen, harmful dust, irritating gases, etc., can be collected on the ground and easily inhaled.
