Asthma is considered such a lung disease as badly affects breathing. In patients with asthma airways get narrowed, swollen and inflamed and it becomes difficult for the patient to continue the flow of the air into and out of the lungs because of these narrowed and inflamed airways.
Physical examination, lung function tests and personal history are the factors that help to diagnose asthma. Good evaluation is considered the first step to diagnose asthma. If your child wheezes, coughs or faces difficulty in breathing, these may be the symptoms of asthma and you must consult your doctor in this connection.

Allergic asthma is considered the commonest form of asthma and IgE antibody is basic factor behind allergic asthma. Viral or sinus infections, contact with allergens and weather changes often trigger IgE antibody.
