Littleton Pediatrics: Tips on Managing Childhood Asthma this Summer
Allergens, substances that trigger allergic reactions, can exacerbate asthma. Food (e.g. poultry products, milk, and peanuts), pollen, and dust mites are common allergens for children. Have the pediatrician assess your child for allergies so you can avoid them accordingly. Viral or bacterial illnesses are also quite common in the summer, especially during recreational trips. These diseases may likewise set asthma symptoms off. Since the child may develop productive or “wet” coughs and colds from these infections, asthma symptoms like wheezing and shortness of breath can easily follow.
