Hi,
    Welcome to Only 24 hours in a day.

Today our topic is about Asthma disease. If you have any question feel free to write on the comment section. Let starts,

What is Asthma?

                   A chronic inflammatory disease of the airways that makes them hyper-responsive to a wide range of stimuli including allergens, pollution, infection, exercise and stress.

Symptom:

 As a result of the airways narrow, leading to coughing, wheezing, chest tightness and difficulty breathing. These symptoms can range from mild to severe and may even result in death.

Types of Asthma: 

There are six different types of asthma, including occupational asthma, cough-variant asthma and health conditions that mimic asthma; but here we focus on three common types

Treatment of Asthma disease:

These include inhaled steroids such as Flovent (fluticasone) and Pulmicort (budesonide), leukotriene blockers such as Singulair (montelukast), and combination therapy with long-acting beta-agonists such as Advair(fluticasone/salmeterol) and Symbicort (budesonide/formoterol). Other medicines, such as theophylline and Xolair, are typically used in addition to an inhaled corticosteroid or leukotriene blocker to control asthma. It would be unusual for a patient to only take theophylline or Xolair without another medicine to treat asthma.
