Allergic asthma is a type of breathing difficulty seen in adults and children. Here, the asthma attack is generally triggered by a substance called an allergen. When an asthmatic individual inhales an allergen, it triggers high-grade inflammatory reactions in the airway and lungs. There will be breathlessness, cough, sneezing, and cold.
