The technical name is “cold-induced asthma”. You can read about it here in an article entitled, “Warning! Cold-Induced Asthma Symptoms Ahead.- Take Care To Avoid Cold-induced Asthma Symptoms”
This, of course, refers to bronchospasm and wheezing caused by cold exposure. There is no other name for it. From the article already cited, “Cold-induced asthma is caused by narrowing airways irritated by inflowing cold air.”
There is also a form called exercise-induced asthma
