What is the ‘September Spike’?
The ‘September Spike’ refers to a dangerous increase in pediatric asthma attacks and flare-ups that happen soon after kids and teens return to the classroom. In some regions, this phenomenon is called the “Autumn Spike” or “September Asthma Peak”.

If the summer got your child’s asthma management off track, learn what you can do to get it under control.
