Asthma Severity Classification

Asthma severity classification helps doctors determine how serious a patient's asthma is and guide treatment. It typically ranges from intermittent (mild symptoms only occasionally) to severe persistent (daily symptoms that significantly affect daily life). This classification considers factors such as the frequency and intensity of symptoms, the need for rescue medication, and any limitations in daily activities. Understanding severity helps in creating an effective management plan, including medications and lifestyle changes, to control symptoms and prevent asthma attacks, ultimately improving the patient's quality of life.
