Answer
Allergic bronchial asthma is a type of asthma caused by airway narrowing due to an abnormal immune system response, known as an allergy. Inducing factors for allergies include inhaled substances such as cold air, pollen, dust mites, as well as certain foods and medications. Allergic bronchial asthma is a chronic airway inflammation characterized by recurrent episodes of wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, or coughing in sensitive individuals, usually occurring at night and in the early morning. The airways become increasingly sensitive to various stimuli.
