    Asthma affects the small air passages (bronchi) of the lungs. These passages become swollen and inflamed, and this leads to the production of mucus (fluid) during an asthma attack, these small airways become narrow. This reduces the flow of air in and out the lungs, leading to wheezing, coughing and difficulty with breathing. Asthma can be controlled with medication in almost all children.
