How are allergies and asthma different?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many things: Allergies are an immune response of the body to a foreign substance that causes release of certain chemicals in the body like histamine. Asthma can be triggered by an allergic reaction but not always (exercise, cold air, etc).
