Managing asthma Quiz

Asthma is a chronic disease due to an inflammation of the airways leading to the lungs. This makes the airways tight and breathing difficult resulting in an attack. Sometimes, asthma attacks can be triggered by allergens or irritants, thereby, making it difficult for the sufferer to breathe because air doesn’t move in and out of the lungs. The results are symptoms such as coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath and tightness of the chest. There is no cure for asthma. It can only be managed by avoiding triggers and by the use of inhaled corticosteroids. This disease caused about 397,100 deaths in 2015.
