About Childhood Asthma in Kolkata
Childhood asthma is a chronic inflammatory condition of the airways in children that causes them to become narrowed, swollen, and prone to producing excess mucus, leading to recurrent episodes of wheezing, coughing, and difficulty breathing. It is one of the most common chronic diseases of childhood and can be triggered by a range of factors including respiratory infections, allergens, exercise, and irritants such as smoke. While many children experience a reduction in symptoms as they grow older, some continue to have asthma into adulthood, making appropriate long-term management important to prevent complications and support normal activity and growth.
