HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Ear piercing is for cosmetic purposes only.
The outer ear is not related or connect to the airways and would not impact on asthma control.
Infections of the middle ear or sinus disease causing ear symptoms can affect asthma but not piercings of the outer ear.
It is safe for her to have it done but would not affect asthma in any way
I hope this helps
