One thing to note
The start of the school year
Is the beginning of Cold/flu season
Most normal kids get some crud wothin a week or two of school starting
Which makes sense for all chronic stuff to flare
Asthma attacks go up
Ibd flares go up
Arthritis flares go up
Since if a child is ill or fighting off something the other systems flare
