Asthma
From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Asthma is a common disease that makes it hard for people to breathe. Asthma happens when the tubes that go to the lungs get irritated and become tight and inflamed. This makes the area inside the tubes thinner than they should be, which makes it harder to get air into the lungs. This is called an "asthma attack", which can be cured by using an inhaler. When a person is having an asthma attack usually they will wheeze, breathe fast, and sometimes cough. Asthma attacks can be caused by many things like exercise, cold air, allergies, and breathing in certain chemicals. A person having an asthma attack should use an inhaler or go and see a doctor for a prescription.
