Understanding Asthma: Triggers and Management
Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition characterized by inflammation and narrowing of the airways, leading to wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath. Common triggers include allergens, air pollution, exercise, and respiratory infections. Managing asthma involves identifying and avoiding triggers, using inhalers and medications to control symptoms, and developing an action plan for asthma attacks. Regular monitoring and working with healthcare providers to adjust treatment plans can help individuals manage their asthma effectively and improve their quality of life.
