A complex interaction between genetic & environmental factors results in Asthma. Environmental allergens like dust mites, pollen, fungal spores, food items (commonly peanuts, egg, milk, wheat, prawn, eggplant, seafood, etc.), some medicines, etc. are associated with allergic Asthma. Diagnosis of Asthma requires proper clinical history, physical exams, Spirometry, FENO, and Impulse Oscillometry. Skin & blood tests are also performed for the identification of specific allergens. Treatment includes the use of inhalers, anti-allergics, and allergen immunotherapy for definitive treatment.
