Asthma is a common chronic (long term) lung disease that inflames and narrows the airways. It is a disease characterized by recurrent attacks of breathlessness and wheezing, chest tightness, and coughing which vary in severity and frequency from person to person. In an individual, they may occur from hour to hour and day to day. The coughing often occurs at night or early in the morning. Typically, asthma patients develop wheezing and have increased mucous production in their lungs. Asthma patients can have episodes of increased shortness of breath, often triggered by allergic reactions. Asthma sufferers often have the disease for many years, and the episodes of shortness of breath can be life-threatening. Asthma affects people of all ages, but it most often starts during childhood.
How do I differentiate between asthma cough with cough TB?
ReplyDeleteThanks for your response. In the article I discussed about asthma and a chronic cough with a progressive increase in production of mucus and coughing up blood, with weight loss, night sweats, loss of appetite, chills, and fever is the symptom of tuberculosis.
