  2. irritants or industrial dust at work are the most prevalent risk factors for getting infected with the disease. Although research into the origins of the disease is ongoing, the following elements are known to be the causes of asthma:- Family background You are between three and six times more likely to acquire the condition if one of your parents has it than if the other doesn't. Allergies Some people are more likely than others to have allergies, mainly if one of their parents does. People who develop this disease are more likely to have certain allergic disorders, such as atopic dermatitis (eczema) or allergic rhinitis (hay fever). Respiratory viral infections Wheezing can be brought on by respiratory issues in childhood and adolescence. Workplace exposures Exposure to specific components at work can aggravate asthma symptoms if you already have them. Additionally, for certain individuals, exposure to specific dust (such as industrial or wood dust), chemical fumes and vapours, and moulds might result in the first-ever onset of the condition. Smoking The airways are irritated by cigarette smoke. This condition is highly likely to affect smokers. It is also more prevalent in people who were around secondhand smoke or whose moms smoked when they were pregnant. Air toxicity The disease’s risk is increased by exposure to ozone, which is the primary cause of smog. Obesity It is more likely to affect obese or overweight kids and adults. In comparison to patients in a healthy weight range, obese patients frequently take more drugs, experience more symptoms, and have difficulty controlling their condition. While these characteristics raise a person's chance of cardiac asthma, other factors, such as poverty and a lack of health insurance, are linked to increased asthma symptoms and hospital stays.

  3. Symptoms of asthma in adults include:- breathing difficulty chest discomfort or stiffness wheezing is a common symptom of the condition in children with asthma shortness of breath, wheezing, or coughing that prevents you from falling asleep wheezing or coughing fits brought on by respiratory illnesses like the flu or a cold Acute exacerbation of asthma is an episode of severe asthma symptoms and lung function; they can be asthma attack symptoms and happen in patients with a known diagnosis of the condition in response to a "trigger" like exposure to an allergen, viral upper respiratory infection, air pollution, or other irritants, not taking asthma medicine, or an unknown stimulus. Early detection and asthma treatment, before episodes worsen and become potentially fatal, is the best therapeutic method for acute exacerbation of asthma. In-depth studies into the circumstances underlying fatal asthma cases typically show that patients and medical professionals failed to recognise the severity of the condition and appropriately strengthen treatment. Homeopathic treatment for asthma is the most effective and best advised here. It comes with zero side effects and has successfully recovered many patients with the condition.
