How to use "Exacerbating" in context?
Exacerbating factors for asthma include repeated episodes of bronchitis, colds, and other respiratory infections, smoking, and allergen exposure. Asthma, in turn, can make these factors worse by triggering the release of extra mucus from the airways, which in turn can make breathing even more difficult.
