Asthma & Pulmonary
Asthma affects 26 million Americans, 6.2 million of whom are children, and the number is rising. Over the last 20 years, the incidence of asthma has doubled. Many cases of asthma are brought on by respiratory allergies, which is why it's so important to be treated if you suffer from hay fever or other airborne allergies. In fact, recent research has shown that asthma may be prevented if allergies are treated early enough with allergy shots.
Asthma can also be triggered by exercise, infections, cold air or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). At Canton Asthma & Allergy in Canton, Brighton and Novi, Michigan, our board-certified doctors treat people of all ages who have asthma and other breathing problems, such as:
