Understanding Asthma
Asthma is a long-term lung condition. People with asthma have sensitive airways in their lungs which react to triggers, causing a ‘flare-up’. In a flare-up, the muscles around the airway squeeze tight, the airways swell and become narrow and there is more mucus. These things make it harder to breathe.
An asthma flare-up can come on slowly (over hours, days or even weeks) or very quickly (over minutes). A sudden or severe asthma flare-up is sometimes called an asthma attack.
A person’s asthma symptoms can vary over time - sometimes they will have no symptoms, especially when their asthma is well-controlled. Symptoms often vary from person to person, but they are most commonly:
- breathlessness
- wheezing
- tight feeling in the chest
- continuing cough
The occurence of these symptoms can be quickly rectified through the use of prescribed medication such as salbutamol, however, this is hard to manage for a young child.
In children:
- Signs of worsening asthma can be difficult to recognise
- Asthma can worsen quickly over short period of time
- They may complain of sore tummy or chest and be more restless
- DO NOT DELAY in starting asthma first aid
