What happens to my child's lungs during an asthma attack?

In a perfect world, the lungs work beautifully. The diaphragm contracts, the lungs open up, we breathe in; the diaphragm relaxes, the lungs compress, we breathe out -- all without a second thought. But for kids with asthma, that natural response is far from guaranteed.

Here's what happens: When exposed to some kind of trigger (like smoke, pets, even cold air or exercise), an immune response causes the membranes that line the small airways in the child's lungs to become inflamed and swollen. This narrowing of the airways makes it difficult to breathe. To make matters worse, a child who can't breathe begins to panic, and that releases stress hormones, exacerbating the problem.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
