ASTHMA AND ALLERGIES
Asthma is a common chronic disease affecting children. The disease causes the airways to become sensitive to allergens, which are substances that triggers an allergic reaction. When this happens, the lining of the airways become inflamed, the muscles around the airways tighten and the production of mucus increases.
