Does the weather affect asthma?

Question

My 20 month old son has been diagnosed with Asthma. He has a nebulizer and takes Pulmicort and Albuterol. He seems super sensitive to weather changes. Does anyone else with asthma have the same problem?

Answer 1

I am 29 years old and I was born with asthma and the cold weather especially triggers my asthma.

Answer 2

I have asthma and really the only time I have issues with it is when there is a weather change or when I get a bad cold!

Answer 3

My brother is an asthmatic and after ten years his asthma has shown no sign of improving. He has been to several doctors but they didn't help much.

Contact your doctor and ask for a COPD pack. You can then link to the met. office and they will contact you when the weather is going to be detrimental to your sons health. It will also give you two temperature cards telling you what the temperature should be in your living room and his bedroom.
COPD is short for Chronic Obstuctive Pulmonary Disease, which includes Asthma.

Answer 6

The cold air can affect asthma sometimes. I would ask your/his doctor if you want some good information.
