Airway Disease
Airway disease is a condition that affects the airways of the lungs, resulting in breathing difficulties, coughing, and shortness of breath. It is a common respiratory disease, especially in children and older adults. The exact cause of airway disease can vary, but it is often associated with genetics, environment, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Airway disease can be detected through various tests, such as spirometry, which measures the volume of air that can be inhaled and exhaled. Treatment typically focuses on managing symptoms and preventing complications. This may include lifestyle modifications, medications, or surgery in severe cases. Prevention measures include maintaining a healthy weight, avoiding exposure to environmental irritants, and quitting smoking. If you suspect that you or someone you know may have airway disease, it is important to consult a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment.
