The World Health Organization (WHO) describes asthma as a “major noncommunicable disease characterized by recurrent attacks of breathlessness and wheezing, which vary in severity and frequency from person to person.” The lining of your airways or bronchial tubes swell which in turn, makes it difficult for you to breathe.
Medicines for asthma management include corticosteroids, inhalers, and nebules.
