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 can be mild or severe, and is classified by how your breathing is affected. Most alarming are asthma attacks, episodes of severe coughing or wheezing where it is very hard to catch your breath; but asthma can also be a chronic condition. Treatment is by anti-inflammatories and bronchodilators.
