Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition characterized by inflammation and narrowing of the airways, leading to difficulty breathing, coughing, wheezing, and chest tightness. Triggers for asthma can vary from person to person and may include allergens, respiratory infections, exercise, or environmental factors. Treatment for asthma typically involves a combination of long-term control medications to reduce inflammation and quick-relief inhalers to alleviate symptoms during flare-ups. It is important for individuals with asthma to work with their healthcare provider to create a personalized asthma action plan to effectively manage and control their condition.
