5Flu Symptoms
When your asthma is caused by viral or bacterial attacks, you might have some symptoms that are quite similar to typical flu or cold. These include congestion, sore throat, runny nose, or sneezing. If the mucus produced when you cough is white or clear, the infection might be viral. If it is green or dark, it might be bacterial. Whenever you notice those infection signs with gasping for breath or noises on exhalation, you are likely to have asthma. Visit your doctor to determine the exact cause. [5]
