Asthma is a chronic respiratory disease which cannot be cured. Young children suffering from asthma can outgrow it but some children might outgrow the disease and may have it appearing again sometime during their adulthood.
Asthma symptoms include wheezing, chest tightness, shortness of breath, and coughing. The disease affects people of all ages, but often begins during childhood. In the United States, more than 22 million people have asthma. Asthma therapies aim to reduce this inflammation and improve airway function.
