Allergies?: Many young asthmatic have allergies and sometimes they are multiple. Of course the best way to get to the root of the problem is to have him skin tested. You may want to rule out possible contact dermatitis because of new laundry detergent, soap, new brands of undershirts sheets and pillowcases, etc.
