When properly managed, children with asthma can live perfectly normal lives.</p><h2>How asthma affects your child's lungs<br></h2><p>If your child has asthma, your child's airways (breathing passages) are extra sensitive or "twitchy". When your child is surrounded by certain conditions or triggers, your child's airways become narrower. This makes it hard to breathe.</p> <figure class="asset-c-80"> <span class="asset-image-title">Narrowing of airways in asthma</span> <img src="https://assets.aboutkidshealth.ca/akhassets/Asthma_MED_ILL_EN.jpg" alt="Normal airways, muscles and alveoli compared to the airways, muscles and alveoli during an asthma attack" /> <figcaption>During an asthma attack, the muscles around the airways get tight. The airways become narrow, making it hard to breathe.</figcaption> </figure> <p>One or more of the following things can happen to make your child's airways narrow.</p><ul><li>The lining of the airways gets thick and swells. This is called inflammation.</li><li>The muscles around the airways squeeze together and get tight. This is called bronchospasm or bronchoconstriction.</li><li>The airways make a lot of thick liquid called mucus.</li></ul><p>All of these reactions make your child's airways narrower.
