They may have these symptoms brought on by a cold or changes in the weather. They may also have them because of some kind of physical activity that they are performing. Sometimes smoke, animals, mold, and pollution can bring on an asthma attack. You should learn about the different things that can cause an asthma attack and keep them from your child.
