    Asthma

    Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition where the airways become inflamed and narrowed, making it difficult to breathe. It often leads to wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath. Asthma can be triggered by allergens, exercise, pollution, cold air, or stress. While it is not curable, it can be managed effectively with medication and lifestyle adjustments.

    • Persistent coughing, especially at night or early morning
    • Tightness or pressure in the chest
    • Shortness of breath, especially during exercise or exposure to triggers
    • Frequent respiratory infections or prolonged recovery from colds
