    Asthma is a long-term disease of the lungs that causes inflamed and narrow airways, making breathing difficult. It is triggered by infections, allergens, smoking, pollution and cold air, and treated through inhalers, medications and avoiding triggers. Influenza (flu) is caused by viruses and has symptoms ranging from mild to severe like fever, cough and fatigue. It is treated with anti-viral drugs and prevented through hand washing and flu vaccines. COPD is a chronic inflammatory lung disease that causes airflow obstruction, with symptoms like breathing difficulty, cough and wheezing. It is caused by smoking and can be prevented by quitting smoking and getting an annual flu shot.
