There is no cure for asthma; it is treated by preventing the attacks, or at least keeping them under control with medications
During an asthma attack, the airways swell up and fill with mucous. That makes it very hard for air to get in, which causes difficulty breathing. Wheezing is a sound that asthmatics commonly make when they are struggling for air.
There is no cure for asthma; it is treated by preventing the attacks, or at least keeping them under control with medications that help widen the airways, allowing more air to enter. These meds are inhaled, which means breathed in, through a small, non-electronic device called an inhaler, or through a mask and a larger, electric device called a nebulizer. Sometimes, other oral (taken by mouth) medications are also used.
