Asthma is a chronic condition that affects breathing and can become life-threatening during severe attacks.
People living with asthma should identify and avoid triggers such as dust, smoke, perfumes, cold air, and strong chemicals. Prescribed inhalers must always be used correctly and carried along in case of emergencies.
Keeping homes clean and well-ventilated can reduce exposure to dust and allergens. Smoking and secondhand smoke should be strictly avoided because they worsen breathing problems.
Regular medical checkups are important to monitor symptoms and treatment response. Early treatment of cough, wheezing, or shortness of breath helps prevent dangerous asthma attacks.
