Although, I have, in the past,had children diagnosed with "cold induced asthma" Meaning, the child is sick, but we'll diagnose it as asthma so he can return to daycare. 
That is not true. My daughter has cold induced asthma and it is a real thing. The illness is a trigger for asthma just like an allergy is for some kids. It makes their airways constrict. WE have spent multiple nights in the ER from a minor cold. It is not a fake illness people have to allow their kids into school, however, I'm sure some can abuse this when they are really sick just like some people can take advantage of everything.
