Help & Home Remedies For Asthma in Kids

In this, Help & Home Remedies for Asthma in Kids app, we have compiled information about children's or baby's asthma which is considered the most common chronic childhood disease.
Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the lungs and airways — the tubes that bring air into and out of the lungs. If your baby has asthma, these airways are irritated and swollen, and this can affect his ability to breathe.

Exposure to allergens such as dust mites, fog, smoke, mold, pollens, animal dander, cold air, viral infections (such as the common cold), tobacco smoke, and other air pollutants, running or heavy exercises can trigger or worsen symptoms in children with asthma. This is referred to as allergic asthma.
