Asthma
Asthma is an inflammatory disease of the lungs and airways, which is characterized by symptoms of breathlessness, wheezing and coughing. In asthma the airways can become constricted so there is less room for the air to get through.
Asthma attacks come and go, with wide variation in the symptoms at different times. Some children grow out of asthma and some people are only affected at different times of the year.
