Bronchial Asthma treatment in Ameca

Bronchial asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways, in which the bronchi become sensitive and tend to narrow, hindering the passage of air. It usually runs with periods of greater and lesser activity.

Common symptoms:

• Difficulty breathing and a sensation of tightness in the chest.
• Cough, especially at night or with exertion.
• Whistling when breathing.

Triggering factors: allergens, respiratory infections, exercise, smoke, and temperature changes, among others.

When to see a doctor? If the symptoms recur, interrupt sleep, or limit activity, an evaluation is advisable; intense difficulty breathing requires immediate care.

Which specialist treats it? The pulmonologist and the allergist study the airways and their triggers; the pediatrician treats children and the general practitioner provides guidance. Keeping up follow-up with a professional helps to keep asthma under control.
