Ear, Nose, Throat Center/Asthma and Allergy Center

Asthma and Allergy Center
Asthma is a lung disease caused by inflammation of the windpipes (airways) of the lungs. It can be life threatening, but the disease can be easily controlled with the appropriate treatment. It is chronic-patients live with it every day. Asthma causes breathing problems, which are called attacks or episodes of asthma. These attacks can be severe, moderate or mild, and are often triggered by irritants such as smoke or things to which a person is allergic.

The Asthma and Allergy Center at Vibhavadi is staffed by a team of pulmonary and allergy specialists, assisted by asthma nurse specialists and allergy technicians. This team evaluates patients using sophisticated equipment for pulmonary function testing and allergy skin testing. Services include:
