Asthma is an inflammation and reversible constriction of the airways in the lungs, which cause episodes of breathlessness & wheezing and sometimes a dry cough. Often asthma is caused by an allergic reaction to certain airborne substances such as dust mites or animal fur.

Like with most allergic reactions, the body produces histamine, which causes swelling of the airways of the lung, The swelling causes the airways to narrow which inhibits the amount of air flow to the lungs thus making it harder to breathe.

1 in 7 seven children suffer with asthma which is rapidly increasing. Almost half of all children with asthma "grow-out" of the condition.
