Asthma
Asthma is a chronic lung disease where the tissue and airways of the lungs become extremely sensitive to certain substances. When these substances are breathed in, the lungs become inflamed. The muscles around the airways tighten and squeeze the lungs, and passages within the lungs swell and tighten. The airways themselves produce mucus, which further clogs the tightened, swollen airways. A person having an asthma attack finds it very difficult to breathe, and a severe attack can even be fatal.
Asthma affects people of all ages, but people with asthma are most often diagnosed as children. Symptoms can include wheezing, a tight feeling in the chest, shortness of breath, and coughing. Some people have mild symptoms all the time, and some people have no symptoms at all, but everyone with asthma is susceptible to occasional severe attacks or flare-ups of symptoms when they are exposed to triggers. Triggers vary widely but can include:
Treatment for most asthma patients involves three steps. Patients learn what their asthma triggers are and avoid them. They take a daily control medication, usually an inhaled corticosteroid, to reduce inflammation in the lungs. Also, they have rescue medication with them at all times to take in case of a severe attack. These quick-acting inhaled medications relax the muscles around the airways and allow the lungs to open up for air.
There is no cure for asthma, but with treatment it should not interfere with daily life and activities.

BEST DR IN SUSSEX , MORRIS AND WARREN COUNTIES. He is exactly who you want for your child's Dr. He knows exactly what is wrong and if he thinks you need a specialist, he will tell you. He only wants the best for your child so do it, but rarely do you need to go elsewhere, he is exceptionally smart. He will explain to you everything you need to know and alittle more, just so your comfortable about taking your child home and eases your worries. Yes, you may have to wait sometimes but I would rather wait then be treated like a #, then the Dr. walks out the door. All of my 4 children went to him (24yrs) and I would encourage you to see him, I cant say enough good things about him. He still goes to seminars and conferences about up and coming medicine and up and coming diseases. He may have been here a while but he is the BEST!!!
