From understanding what asthma actually is to recognizing early signs in infants, we cover the most common symptoms, triggers, and related conditions like eczema, allergies, and exercise-induced wheezing. We also explain how to tell the difference between asthma, reactive airway disease, and vocal cord dysfunction. And stick around for the end of the episode—where we'll bust some of the biggest myths you've heard about asthma. Whether you're a new parent or just looking for clarity, this episode will help you breathe a little easier.
