Clinical Overview
Respiratory conditions are common in Bengal due to varying air quality and humidity. Asthma causes the airways to narrow and swell, making breathing difficult.
Key Symptoms
Shortness of breath, chest tightness or pain, wheezing when exhaling, and coughing attacks that are worsened by cold air or respiratory viruses.
Treatment Options
Inhalers (bronchodilators and steroids) are the primary treatment. It is crucial to identify triggers such as dust, pollen, or pollution to prevent acute attacks.
Prevention & Lifestyle
Identify and avoid triggers, keep your environment dust-free, get annual flu vaccinations, and ensure you are using your inhaler with the correct technique.
