Asthma Treatment

Asthma (also known as bronchial asthma) is a chronic disease that affects the functioning of the lungs by impacting airways by making them inflamed and narrowed at times which will make it harder for the person to breathe.

It can prove to be a very serious illness for many people depending upon the intensity and frequency of the attacks.

As per the Global Asthma Report 2022 presented by Global Asthma Network, about 35 million people suffer from asthma in India, with a prevalence of 2.4% in adults aged >15 years, and between 4% and 20% in children.

Causes and Risk Factors

The exact cause of asthma is not fully understood, but it is likely to result from a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Common triggers and risk factors for developing asthma include Genetics, Environmental Allergens, Respiratory Infections, Occupational Exposures, Tobacco Smoke, Air Pollution, Physical Activity, Certain Medications, and Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD).

It’s important to note that asthma triggers can vary among individuals, and not everyone with these risk factors will develop asthma.
