Abstract

Chronic asthma is primarily distinguished by episodes of wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath brought on by inflammation and hyperresponsiveness of the airways. It is one of the most prevalent chronic pulmonary illnesses in the US, affecting 20 million adults, or 8% of the adult population. As a result, primary care offices commonly meet cases of asthma. Most asthmatics are anticipated to acquire good control, and the generalist manages asthma very successfully most of the time. The epidemiology, diagnosis, and chronic and acute therapy of asthma from a primary care perspective are all summarized in this article.
