Abstract


Asthma is a complex illness with a wide range of severity and symptoms. The most prevalent chronic illness impacting children is noncommunicable disease (NCD), which also affects adults. The tiny airways in the lungs become inflamed and constrict, triggering the asthma symptoms, such as coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, and tightness in the chest. Bronchodilators cause the smooth muscles that surround the airway to relax. The airways enlarge and can now hold more air as a result. However, corticosteroids cannot stop an assault that has already started. These medications can be ingested, injected, or inhaled. Regular use of Cromolyn is also used to prevent asthma attacks, either by itself or in conjunction with other asthma medications.

Keywords
