Abstract

Triggers for asthma symptoms can alter during the course of the year. Beverley Bostock evaluates the management of seasonal asthma Asthma is an inflammatory condition, which is usually associated with an allergic trigger and response. Seasonal changes can influence asthma morbidity and mortality. The aim of asthma management is to optimise symptom control by impacting on the inflammatory cascade and, where possible, avoidance of known allergens. Triggers for asthma symptoms can alter during the course of the year as weather and airborne allergens change with the seasons. People living with seasonal allergic asthma should be taught to recognise their own triggers for their asthma symptoms and should be offered personalised, tailored advice, medication and action plans to proactively manage their asthma, optimise symptom control and prevent exacerbations.
