eosinophilic asthma

Eosinophilic asthma is a type of asthma where the immune system produces too many eosinophils, a type of white blood cell. This overproduction can lead to inflammation and narrowing of the airways, causing symptoms like wheezing, coughing, and difficulty breathing. It often doesn’t respond well to typical asthma treatments, requiring specialized therapies. People with eosinophilic asthma may experience severe symptoms, and managing the condition often involves specific medications that target the eosinophils to reduce inflammation and improve breathing. Understanding and treatment can significantly enhance quality of life for those affected.
