Decrease inflammation of blocked airways

Gage Brennan · Answer 2

Decrease inflammation of blocked airways

Explanation:

Asthma refers to the difficulty in breathing accompanied by wheezing and it caused due to constriction of airways. Allergic responses towards presence of allergens in air stimulation inflammatory response. Inflammation leads to constriction of airways leading to increased air resistance and difficulty in breathing. Hence, any medication that targets the inflammation of airways would serve in asthma.
