Asthma is a chronic lung condition that affects the airways, resulting in coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath. Asthma cough is one of the most common symptoms of asthma, and it can be triggered by a variety of factors. Understanding what triggers your asthma cough can help you manage your condition and reduce the intensity and frequency of your coughing episodes.

Triggers of Asthma Cough

The most common triggers of asthma cough include allergens, air pollution, weather changes, smoking, and exercise.

Allergens

Allergens, such as dust mites, pet dander, and pollen, are a common trigger for asthma cough. Allergens can irritate the airways and cause inflammation, resulting in coughing.

Air Pollution

Air pollution, such as vehicle exhaust and smoke, can irritate the airways and cause coughing.

Weather Changes

Weather changes can also trigger asthma cough. Cold, dry air can irritate the airways and cause coughing, while sudden changes in temperature can also trigger an asthma cough.

Smoking

Smoking is a major trigger of asthma cough. Inhaling smoke can irritate and inflame the airways, resulting in coughing.

Exercise

Exercise can also trigger an asthma cough. Exercise-induced asthma is a type of asthma that is triggered by physical activity, and it can cause coughing.

Managing Asthma Cough

Managing your asthma cough involves avoiding your triggers and taking medications as prescribed. You should also use an inhaler before exercising to help prevent coughing. If you are exposed to triggers, such as allergens or air pollution, you should use an inhaler immediately and seek medical help if your symptoms persist.

Asthma cough is triggered by a variety of factors, including allergies, colds and flu, exercise, air pollution, and certain medications. When an asthma sufferer is exposed to one of these triggers, their airways become inflamed and narrowed, making it more difficult to breathe. As the sufferer tries to take in air, a cough develops as their body attempts to clear away the irritant. The cough can also be triggered by stress, anxiety, or other emotional factors. Unfortunately, it can often be difficult to pinpoint the exact triggers of an asthma cough, so it is important to keep track of your symptoms and speak to your doctor if your asthma cough persists.
