Explanation

Asthma is a condition that affects a person's airways, which are the tubes that carry air in and out of the lungs. When someone has asthma, these airways can become inflamed and narrow, making it harder for air to pass through. This can cause symptoms like coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness.
