5. Frequent Respiratory Infections
People with asthma may be more susceptible to respiratory infections, such as colds, bronchitis, and pneumonia. This is because the inflammation and narrowing of the airways can make it more difficult for the body to effectively clear mucus and other debris, creating an environment in which infections can thrive.
Frequent respiratory infections can exacerbate asthma symptoms and may even lead to the development of more severe asthma if left untreated. If you experiences recurrent respiratory infections, it is essential to seek medical advice to determine whether asthma may be a contributing factor.
Managing asthma and addressing any underlying factors, such as allergies or exposure to irritants, can help reduce the frequency of respiratory infections and improve overall health. (5)
