 Asthma: Causes, Clinical Findings, and Treatment

Asthma:

[Asthma mean to breath hard or difficulty in breathing]

Asthma is a respiratory condition characterized by difficulty breathing due to the narrowing of airways caused by the deposition of mucus. In asthma, the walls of bronchi and bronchioles become inflamed and swell, making it harder for air to flow in and out of the lungs.

Causes:

Asthma can be triggered by a variety of allergens, including house dust, feathers, and vegetable seeds and many others allergens. These allergens can cause an allergic reaction in the lungs, leading to inflammation and the symptoms associated with asthma.

Clinical findings: 

The most common symptoms of asthma include chest tightness, shortness of breath, chest wheezing, and coughing up sputum. These symptoms can vary in severity and frequency depending on the individual.

Treatment: 

There is no treatment for asthma - only symptoms can be treated. Bronchodilators like Ventolin and salbutamol can help relax the muscles in the airways, making it easier to breathe. Corticosteroids can also be used to reduce inflammation in the lungs. Additionally, cough medicines can help to alleviate coughing and other symptoms associated with asthma.
