On-going Care Needed: Asthma is a complex, chronic, genetically based lung disorder; causes inflammation & spasm of airways leading to recurrent cough, wheeze, shortness of breath & more. Commonly occurs as genetic triad including Allergies & Eczema. Cannot be "removed" however is manageable with on-going medical care: medications, avoidance of triggers, preventative care (eg. flu shot yearly) & more. See your doctor.
