Understanding Asthma Flare-Ups: Causes, Triggers, and Management

Asthma flare-ups occur when airway inflammation causes swelling and narrowing, making it difficult to breathe—similar to a traffic jam. Common triggers include allergens like dust mites, mold, pollen, pet dander, cigarette smoke, and even exercise. To manage asthma effectively, consult a doctor for tailored treatments and strategies to avoid triggers. Inhalers are commonly used for medication. Remember, many children see improvements as they grow, and athletes often excel while managing their asthma. Don’t let asthma hold you back from an active life!
