What is Asthma?

Asthma affects the bronchial tubes in the lungs. When they get irritated, they can become narrow and that makes it hard to breath. That's also what makes you wheeze, or just cough. Some kids feel it most of the time, and some kids feel their Asthma just once in a while. But if you know how to take care of it, you can keep it from getting in your way!
