What is Asthma?

Asthma is a chronic or long-term disease of the airways, which are the tubes that carry air into our lungs. Asthma causes swelling in our airways and makes the tubes you breathe through get smaller, making breathing difficult.

The good news is that asthma can be treated and well-controlled and doesn't have to interfere with your or your child's daily life.
