ASTHMA IN CHILDREN

Asthma is a condition that causes difficulty breathing, and it's common among kids and teens. Asthma affects the bronchial tubes, or airways. All children with asthma have inflamed airways. They swell and produce lots of thick mucus. In addition, their airways are overly sensitive, or hyper reactive, to certain asthma triggers. When the muscles surrounding the airways are exposed to these triggers, the airways tighten and become narrower. Some common triggers are exercise, allergies, viral infections, and smoke. During an asthma flare-up (attack, episode) (приступ астмы), kids may experience coughing, wheezing (a whistling sound in the chest when breathing), chest tightness, increased heart rate, sweating, and shortness of breath.
