what triggers asthma attacks in the winter?

Question

my son has asthma and i am worried for him

Answer 1

A lot of it may be from the toxic cleaning products you use in your home. Most are registered pesticides. Switch to all natural cleaning products and laundry products and take your old products to your nearsest toxic waste recycling place to dispose of the old products. Once you switch have him stay at a friends house while you clean everything in the house and shampoo the carpets and furninture with the new products and wash all his clothes in the new stuff. Once he is back home be sure he takes a good mulitvitamin and antioxidant supplement. In the winter he is inside more because of the winter weather so he is more exposed to all the toxic cleaners you use causing an increase in his asthma.

Asthma can be triggered by many things. What triggers it for one person may not trigger it for another. In the winter the most common triggers (that doesn't happen all year) are cold air and dry air. Or even both. If you have a cold air trigger, try wrapping a scarf around your nose and mouth when going outside. If you have a dry air trigger, try a humidifier in your house especially at night.

You best bet is to speak to an asthma educator. Call you local health dept or hospital and ask if they have a contact number for one in your area. Ask for one with the AE-C credential on his name or record. Good luck
