Asthma is a long-term respiratory disease that inflammes and narrows the airways in the lungs. Common symptoms of asthma include wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath. Asthma is thought to be caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors such as exposure to air pollution and allergens. Asthma treatment typically involves medications like bronchodilators and corticosteroids, and lifestyle changes to reduce triggers. With proper management and treatment, people with asthma can lead normal and active lives. The theme for World Asthma Day 2023 is 'Asthma Care for All'.
