What is Asthma
Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition characterised by inflammation and narrowing of the airways, leading to difficulty breathing. Asthma can be triggered by allergens, respiratory infections, physical activity, or environmental pollutants. Management involves avoiding triggers, using inhalers or other medications to control symptoms, and creating an action plan for asthma attacks so that everyone knows what to do when it occurs.
