Airway spasms: Asthma is an inflammatory disorder that narrows the internal dimension of the breathing tubes resulting in increased effort of breathing, coughing, wheezing & chest discomfort. Symptoms may be relieved by drugs called bronchodilators & controlled by anti-inflammatory medications especially inhaled corticosteroids. Allergen immunotherapy offers cure for some but certainly not all asthma sufferers.
