Asthma is a leading chronic inflammatory disease among children and adults in most industrialized countries. If you have any family member or friend with asthma, you may know a lot about this lung condition already. You might know that asthma constricts the airways in the lungs that help pass air in the lungs, making breathing difficult.<\/span><\/p>\n

Asthma cases can be mild, severe, or anywhere in between. The constriction of airways can develop in childhood and persist into adulthood. Sometimes, it can develop during adulthood; in this case, the condition can be called asthma. Both conditions are the same but act differently and require different management depending on the age of asthma patients.
