Q: What is asthma, and what are the symptoms?
A: Asthma is a chronic respiratory disease that causes inflammation and narrowing of the airways, making it difficult to breathe. Symptoms of asthma can include wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness. Currently, there is no cure for asthma, but it can be effectively managed with proper treatment and care. That may include medications, such as inhalers, and lifestyle modifications to reduce triggers and symptoms.
