Can the flu cause asthma?

My son had a really bad flu infection a few months back, and ever since, he's been wheezing and having breathing troubles. We are worried it might be asthma. Can a severe case of the flu lead to the development of asthma?

Dekho, direct asthma nahi banata flu, but agar trigger point bol rahe ho toh haan. Cough aur cold se chest tight ho jata hai aur purana respiratory issue bahar nikal aata hai. Sahi time pe doctor ko dikhao, faltu risk mat lo aise maamle mein.

Actually, viral infections hamare lungs ko thoda sensitive bana dete hain. Agar aapko lagatar saans lene mein dikkat ho rahi hai, toh please ek baar pulmonologist se mil lijiye. Maine yahan forum pe kaafi logon ke saath yeh hotey dekha hai sardi ke season mein.

Flu won't magically create asthma out of nowhere, but it definitely triggers or worsens existing undiagnosed breathing issues. If you are wheezing after a bad bout of flu, don't sit on it. Go get your chest checked, simple as that.

Mere bete ko bhi har baar normal viral flu ke baad bad wheezing hoti hai, pehle hum sochte thhe normal cold hai but doctor told us it can trigger asthma flare-ups. Ab toh hum turant inhaler aur nebulizer ka checkup karwate hain. Aap bhi doctor se consult karke unka proper plan follow karo.

Bhai, sardi khansi jab jyaada badh jaati hai na toh saans phoolne lagti hai. Hamare yahan toh log isse thand lagna bolte hain, par agar dawayi se aaram na mile toh bade hospital ke doctor ko dikhana hi theek rehta hai. Dhyan rakho apna.

Putra, flu ke baad lungs kamzor ho jate hain aur thand andar baithne se saans lene mein takleef hoti hai. Roz subah thoda garm paani mein haldi aur tulsi daal kar lo, thoda aaram milega. Lekin agar chest mein bhari-pan zyada hai toh doctor se dawai lene mein deri mat karna.
