Asthma Triggered By Pollen

Asthma triggered by pollen occurs when tiny particles from plants, especially during spring and summer, enter the air. For individuals with asthma, inhaling pollen can cause the immune system to respond by inflaming the airways, leading to symptoms like wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath. People with allergic asthma may be particularly sensitive to pollen from grasses, trees, and weeds. Effective management includes avoiding outdoor activities during high pollen counts, using air purifiers, and taking prescribed medications to reduce symptoms and improve breathing.
