World Asthma Day 2025: Know causes, symptoms and treatment for this chronic respiratory condition

Asthma is a chronic respiratory disease that affects the lives of millions of individuals around the globe. It is an ailment that makes the airways swell up and become constricted, thereby making it hard for patients to breathe. In its latest figures, the World Health Organisation (WHO) stated that approximately 235 million individuals are living with asthma worldwide. Given this disturbing statistic, annually on the first Tuesday of May, World Asthma Day is celebrated to spread awareness about the disease and alleviate the conditions of those afflicted by it.
