Dr Hitesh Gour, Consultant – Pulmonology shared that asthma is a chronic disease affecting both children and adults, often triggered by dust, pollution, smoke, infections, and stress. Common symptoms include shortness of breath, coughing, wheezing, and chest tightness.
Dr S K Gupta further said that asthma is a lifelong condition in many patients, but with proper medical care and awareness, it can be effectively controlled. He emphasized that underdiagnosis and undertreatment remain major challenges in India, leading to avoidable complications and hospitalizations.
