Mild Persistent Asthma

Mild persistent asthma is a condition where your airways occasionally become inflamed and narrow, causing symptoms like coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, or chest tightness at least twice a week, but less than daily. These episodes are manageable and don't significantly limit daily activities. Typically, it may require daily use of low-dose inhaled medication to control the inflammation and prevent symptoms. With proper management and adherence to treatment plans, most people with mild persistent asthma can lead active, normal lives while reducing the risk of severe attacks.
