severe asthma
onset of attack only now, the first time, keeps a wild cat as pet, incorrect medication administered during hospitalisation, what foods must be avoided? Stay in Taiwan. What pollen risks and pollution could have set this off?

Dear girl,
Asthma can be triggered by foods, air pollutants, animal dander - you have to be tested to see what is causing your allergy - usually a skin prick test first, can be followed up by blood tests. Try and get an appointment with a pulmonologist in your area.
