Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition characterized by inflammation and narrowing of the airways, leading to symptoms like wheezing, shortness of breath, coughing, and chest tightness. It can be triggered by various factors such as allergies, respiratory infections, exercise, cold air, or irritants like smoke.

The red asthma inhaler you mentioned is likely a rescue inhaler, which contains a medication called a bronchodilator, usually a short-acting beta agonist like albuterol. When someone with asthma experiences symptoms like sudden difficulty breathing or wheezing, they can use their rescue inhaler to quickly open up their airways, making it easier to breathe.
