Understanding and Managing Asthma: Tips and Facts.

On World Asthma Day, it is important to differentiate between asthma and bronchitis as they share similar symptoms. Bronchitis is caused by an infection or environmental irritants, while asthma is a chronic condition that causes inflammation and narrowing of the airways in the lungs. Preventive measures for bronchitis include avoiding exposure to environmental irritants, practicing good hygiene, and staying hydrated. Asthma prevention requires avoiding triggers, taking prescribed medications, and monitoring lung function. Lifestyle changes such as regular exercise and a healthy diet can also help improve lung function and reduce the risk of respiratory problems.
