What chronic respiratory disease is characterized by reversible airway inflammation and bronchospasms?
Show answer
Asthma
During an asthma attack, the muscles around the airways tighten and the lining becomes swollen, making it difficult for air to pass through. Inhalers help by delivering medication directly to the lungs to relax those muscles and reduce inflammation quickly.
