Asthma

💡TL;DR: Asthma rarely goes away on its own — it is a chronic airway disease — but symptoms can enter remission for years, especially after mild childhood asthma. About 25 million Americans live with asthma (American Lung Association), and remission is far less likely when asthma starts in adulthood (≈6% achieve

Childhood Asthma vs Adult Asthma: Key Differences at a Glance 💡TL;DR: Childhood-onset and adult-onset asthma share symptoms but differ in patterns, triggers, and outlook. About half of children see symptoms improve or go into remission by early adulthood, while adult-onset asthma usually persists and can be more severe. Kids\

💡TL;DR: Most people with well-controlled asthma have healthy pregnancies. Asthma may improve, worsen, or stay the same; symptoms often peak around weeks 24–36 and usually return to baseline by about 3 months postpartum. About 4–8% of pregnancies are affected by asthma, and the biggest risk is from

💡TL;DR: Asthma is chronic and noninfectious; acute bronchitis is usually a short-term infection with mucus. About 90% of acute bronchitis cases are viral, so antibiotics usually are not needed. Asthma often needs daily controller medicine plus a rescue inhaler, while acute bronchitis typically improves in 1–3 weeks with

💡TL;DR: Asthma is a chronic airway disease you manage long term; pneumonia is an acute lung infection you treat and usually cure. Typical clues: wheezing without fever = asthma; fever plus a wet cough = pneumonia. Doctors confirm asthma with spirometry and pneumonia with a chest X-ray; pneumonia leads to about

💡TL;DR: Budesonide inhalation suspension is a daily controller medicine nebulized to prevent asthma symptoms; each treatment takes about 5–10 minutes and full benefit may take 1–2 weeks. Do not use it for sudden breathing problems; keep a rescue inhaler for attacks. Jet nebulizers are effective and affordable

💡TL;DR: No, do not give albuterol nebulizer treatments every 2 hours on a routine basis. The usual home interval is every 4–6 hours as needed because the effect lasts about 4 hours; giving it sooner adds side effects (tremor, fast heartbeat) with little extra benefit (source: Mayo Clinic)

💡TL;DR: Albuterol nebulizer solution gives fast relief: most adults use one 2.5 mg/3 mL vial per treatment, inhaled over about 5–10 minutes. Relief typically starts in about 5 minutes and lasts 3–6 hours. In the U.S. it is prescription-only, but you can buy the

💡TL;DR: A nebulizer helps when allergies trigger chest symptoms like wheeze or tightness, but it will not unclog a stuffy nose. Inhalers work in seconds but need good technique; nebulizers take about 5–10 minutes and are easier during flares or for kids and older adults. Expect typical costs
