About

    Wheezing is a common symptom of respiratory disorders characterized by a high-pitched whistling sound when breathing. It is often associated with conditions such as asthma, bronchitis, allergies, and infections. Wheezing occurs when air passages in the lungs become narrowed, making it difficult for air to flow in and out effectively. Research in the field of wheezing focuses on understanding the underlying mechanisms, risk factors, diagnostic tools, and treatment options for individuals experiencing this symptom. Studies may involve evaluating different therapies, identifying triggers, and developing strategies to manage and prevent wheezing episodes.
