Intermittent Asthma

Intermittent asthma is a type of asthma characterized by occasional symptoms that are mild and infrequent. People with intermittent asthma experience symptoms like wheezing, coughing, or shortness of breath less than twice a week and may have nighttime symptoms no more than twice a month. These episodes can be triggered by factors such as allergens, exercise, or respiratory infections. While the symptoms can be uncomfortable, they are usually manageable with a rescue inhaler. Overall, intermittent asthma typically has a better prognosis compared to more persistent forms of asthma, and most individuals can lead normal, active lives.
