Asthma is a medical condition where the bronchioles in the lungs get narrower and fill with fluid making it difficult to breath.


A diagram showing a healthy bronchiole on the left and an inflamed bronchiole due to asthma on the right.

Asthma is caused by an inflamation of the bronchioles.

When the bronchioles get narrower it makes it more difficult to breath.

Smoking can make asthma a lot worse, so it is important for people with asthma to stay away from smokers.

People with asthma can use an inhaler that can open up the bronchioles to allow more air through.
