Asthma attacks could increase after schools return, charity warns

The number of children being taken to hospital with asthma attacks could soar in Scotland after the schools return, a charity has warned.
Statistics from Asthma and Lung UK Scotland show, over the past eight years, hospital admissions for children aged five to 19 spike in August and September.
A reduction in preventer inhaler routines during the holidays and an abundance in triggers when children return to the classroom could be the cause, the charity said.
