Asthma triggers

Common exposures that can inflame sensitive airways — and why tracking them helps. · 4 min

Triggers vary. Viral infections, pollen, dust mites, pets, smoke, cold air, exercise and strong scents are frequently reported.

Not every person with asthma reacts to the same list. A simple diary of symptoms and exposures can make clinic conversations more precise.

Trigger control sits alongside inhaler technique and adherence. None of these replaces prescribed treatment.
