Virus induced: Viral infection has turned out to be the most common cause for worsening in asthma (exacerbation). Frequently, you may need a short course of steroid , besides the usual asthma medications, to control the asthma triggered by a viral infection. Washing your hands more often may reduce virus exposure.
