Asthma

Asthma is caused by the swelling and inflammation of small tubes in the lungs which are used to transport oxygen in and out of the lung. Symptoms can be made worse by:

• Allergies such as pollen or dust
• Cold air
• Exercise
• Smoking
• Infections that can affect the lungs like cold or flu

There is currently no cure for asthma; however, there are medications available to help to prevent and relieve symptoms.
