Asthma & Wheezing
Asthma is a long-term lung condition that causes inflammation and narrowing of the airways, leading to symptoms like wheezing, breathlessness, chest tightness, and coughing. At Maitreyi Clinic in Indore, we provide comprehensive asthma treatment for children, adults, and older patients with a focus on symptom control and prevention of flare-ups.
Asthma can vary from mild to severe. Some people have symptoms only during triggers such as dust, cold air, exercise, or infections, while others need regular treatment to stay well. Proper asthma care helps you breathe better, sleep better, and live more confidently.
