WHY IS ASTHMA CHRONIC AND INCURABLE?

Scientists don’t fully understand what causes asthma and why it can’t be cured. It is considered a chronic but highly treatable condition. Many people with asthma can experience minimal, infrequent symptoms with the right asthma management program. Asthma is considered under control when the patient needs fewer than three quick-relief inhaler uses per week, does not wake up in the night due to asthma, and is able to do exercise and other activities with few to no symptoms. Asthma can go into periods of remission when a person experiences no symptoms, and children with asthma may not experience symptoms as adults. There are many different types of asthma and asthma triggers that must each be managed uniquely for each patient.

P.S. Although there are products on the market that promise to get rid of asthma, there are currently no known treatments, therapies, or natural remedies that cure asthma.
