Asthma

Asthma is a very common condition of the lungs; about 25 million Americans experience it. During regular breathing with asthma, the passages within the lungs can become narrow and cause noisy breathing and shortness of breath. Visit our Asthma page to learn more.

Bronchitis

Bronchitis is a condition when the bronchi, the passages that carry air from the windpipe to and from the lungs, become inflamed. Bronchitis is a common lower respiratory tract condition, often following a common cold and appearing in children less than five years of age. Visit our Bronchitis page to learn more.

Rhinitis

Rhinitis is a condition that typically involves nasal obstruction or congestion, runny nose or post-nasal drip, itchy nose, and/or sneezing. There are various causes for these symptoms, although they are broadly divided into two types: allergic rhinitis and non-allergic rhinitis. Visit our Rhinitis page to learn more.
