Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
Main predisposing factor for bronchial asthma is exposure to dust.As your son is having asthma he should very careful.
The symptoms will aggravate on exposure to irritant like dust.As he is having fever, headache and night sweat it might be due to invective agents in the body.
Playing football requires lot of energy and lot of fluid will be lost during playing, loss of fluids and electrolytes in sweating may also leads to your sons symptoms.
He need to hydrate himself properly during playing and be careful regarding dust induced asthmatic attacks.
Thank you.
