Allergic asthma is a type of asthma that is triggered by allergens, such as pollen, dust mites, pet dander, or mold. When a person with allergic asthma inhales these allergens, their immune system overreacts and causes inflammation and narrowing of the airways in the lungs, leading to symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and difficulty breathing. Treatment for allergic asthma typically involves identifying and avoiding triggers, using inhalers or other medications to reduce inflammation and open up the airways, and in some cases, undergoing allergy shots to desensitize the immune system to specific allergens. Researchers in this area focus on understanding the underlying mechanisms of allergic asthma, developing new treatments, and finding ways to prevent asthma attacks in individuals with this condition.
