A member asked:
Is there any cure for asthma?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sometimes: Think of asthma as 2 diseases - (1) underlying inflammation of the breathing tubes called bronchial hyperreactivity (2) episodes of tightness, coughing, wheezing called "asthma attack". Curing asthma requires treating #1. If the cause of asthma is allergy then allergy shots may help & in some cases cure asthma. People often have more than one cause for bronchial hyperreactivity.
