Patient's question:
The child has never had a cough or wheezing before. This time, I don't know what's wrong—was it because of the cold weather, or something else? The cough and wheezing have been particularly severe. So, I took the child to the hospital for a thorough examination. After the examination, the doctor said the child has bronchial asthma. I want to know when this condition tends to be more severe? When is bronchial asthma in children particularly severe?Doctor's answer:
Hello, bronchial asthma has a certain relationship with seasonal changes. The incidence rate increases in cold seasons because the climate evolution in autumn and winter is frequent and often abrupt, with more viral respiratory infections; some allergenic plant pollens have higher concentrations in spring and autumn; high temperature and humidity make it easier for bacteria to adapt; low air pressure can cause pollens, harmful dust, and irritating gases to accumulate on the ground, making it easier to inhale. In addition to respiratory infections, inflammation infections of the lungs, urinary tract, trachea, and paranasal sinuses can also lead to bronchial asthma.
