About Allergic Asthma

A disease process that is characterised by paradoxical narrowing of the bronchi (lung passageways) making
breathing difficult.
Treatment includes bronchodilators which are given orally or delivered as an aerosol (inhaled). Corticosteroids
are reserved for more difficult cases.
Symptoms include wheezing, difficulty breathing (particularly exhaling air) and tightness in the chest. Factors
which can exacerbate asthma include rapid changes in temperature or humidity, allergies, upper respiratory
infections, exercise, stress or smoke (cigarette).
