What is Asthma?

Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition that causes inflammation and narrowing of the airways, leading to difficulty in breathing. It is often triggered by allergens, pollution, cold air, or respiratory infections. Symptoms of asthma include:

• Shortness of breath
• Wheezing (a whistling sound while breathing)
• Chest tightness
• Persistent cough, especially at night or early morning

Asthma can range from mild to severe and requires proper management to prevent complications such as asthma attacks.

What is Pneumonia?

Pneumonia is a lung infection that causes inflammation in the air sacs (alveoli), which may fill with fluid or pus, leading to breathing difficulties. Pneumonia can be caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi. Common symptoms of pneumonia include:

• High fever and chills
• Cough with phlegm
• Shortness of breath
• Chest pain while breathing or coughing
• Fatigue and weakness

Pneumonia can be mild or severe and may require hospitalization in critical cases.
