What is Asthma?

Asthma is a chronic disease of the lungs where the airways swell, fill with mucus and the muscles tighten around the airway making it difficult for air to move through them.

When you have asthma, the airways in your lungs are overly sensitive to triggers, such as air pollution, exercise, allergies, viral infections and smoke.

Asthma is the most common chronic disease for children and number one reason that children miss school and visit the emergency room.
