Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways, characterized by recurrent episodes of wheezing, breathlessness, chest tightness, and coughing. Symptoms can range from mild to severe and can be triggered by environmental factors such as allergens, irritants, and exercise. Treatment for asthma includes medications, lifestyle changes, and avoiding triggers.
