Allergic Asthma

Allergic asthma is a type of asthma triggered by allergens, which are substances that can cause allergic reactions. Common allergens include pollen, dust mites, pet dander, and mold. When someone with allergic asthma encounters these triggers, their immune system overreacts, leading to inflammation and narrowing of the airways. This causes symptoms like wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness. Managing allergic asthma often involves avoiding triggers and using medications, such as inhalers or antihistamines, to control symptoms and maintain airflow in the lungs.
