Focus on air quality: A comfortable temperature around 70 degrees farenheit is normal temperature but focus efforts on air quality and optimize treatment with your doc check for allergies ; where the child sleeps eliminate particulates including: change pillow cases twice a week , bed sheets at least once a week, remove rugs/carpeting, mop floor, decrease dust/clutter, air out room, clean heating and a/c filters.

Normal temps R fine: There is no reason to alter the temperature of your home during the winter to help your child's asthma. Of course, you shouldn't let it get overly cold in the house. I would recommend somewhere between 70-75 degrees (f).

Comfortable: Your child usually will not have a problem because of the temperature in the house. Keep it where you are comfortable.
