Asthma is a disease affecting the airways that carry air to and from your lungs. People who suffer from this chronic condition (long-lasting or recurrent) are said to be asthmatic. The inside walls of an asthmatic's airways are swollen or inflamed.
The prognosis is best in young children who wheeze with viral respiratory infections and who have no symptoms in between these episodes. It can often be difficult to differentiate these âearly wheezersâ from children with true asthma. Children with recurrent symptoms tend to have ongoing asthma later in life. Boys âoutgrowâ asthma more often than girls, and a child with no evidence of environmental allergies has a better chance of âoutgrowingâ asthma as compared to a child with concurrent allergic disease (hay fever).
