Hi I have heard that kids in bangalore have high tendency of Asthma....one of the key reason ( apart from regular one like pollution etc) is the presence of some typical type of pollen in air specially in bangalore and also the fluctuating weather.... Wanted to know how true it is ?
Thanks for your question in Chat Doctor. I can understand your concernAsthma effects 5 to 8 % of population. Symptom can be precipitated by 1.cold air, 2.allergens like house dust mite, pollen, fur etc. 3.infection,4. Smoking and passive smoking, 5.pollution 6. Even by some Chat Doctor. . Symptoms may also increase in 7.early morning and 8. In contact with pets/carpets/feather pillows/ duvet/ floor cushions and other soft furnishings. So you should avoid such precipitant factor as much as possible. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health, thanks. Thanks.
