Asthma

Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition characterized by inflammation of the airways, causing recurrent episodes of wheezing, breathlessness, chest tightness, and coughing. Triggers such as allergens, respiratory infections, and irritants can provoke asthma symptoms. Diagnosis involves lung function tests, and management includes bronchodilators, corticosteroids, and lifestyle adjustments. Asthma attacks, marked by severe symptoms, require prompt medical attention. While asthma is a lifelong condition, proper management allows individuals to lead active lives. Education about triggers and adherence to prescribed medications are crucial for effective asthma control.
