Asthma

Identify a current health-related event to issue: Asthma right now is getting worse day by day because there is lots of pollution from factories, cars and people smoking around children. These are the reasons why a child will develop asthma in their early years.

Describe in detail this event or issue: Asthma is a condition in which your airways narrow and swell and produce extra mucus. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.

Who is involved in this event or issue: I myself have asthma but also my cousin. We both have our different inhalers and also we have different ways of controlling this health issue.

What is being done about it?: There is a surgery that you can get where they remove your tonsils from your throat so you can feel better. But there is a death risk for this surgery. But if you were to take this surgery then you wouldn't have any problems with asthma anymore.

 

Reflection: This issue relates to me because i myself have this health issue. I used to have lots of trouble controlling it but now that i got a surgery where i got my tonsils removed then my airways don't get swollen anymore. M y cousin has not yet took the surgery but she does struggle to breath. The surgery that i took cost money and bravery because there is a death risk. I gave this surgery a chance and well nothing happened to me thankfully.
