Question

One type of allergic reaction results in constriction of the bronchial tubes, which interferes with the passage of air into and out of the lungs. Is this type of allergic reaction most closely associated with asthma, emphysema, or bronchitis?

Answer 1

Definitely asthma

Explanation:

Asthma is a chronic lung inflammation of the airways( not the parenchyma) that causes recurrent episodes of wheezing, breathlessness, chest tightness and cough particularly in the early morning.
In asthma, there’s bronchoconstriction and mucus plugging. This happens when airways are exposed to various risk factors or what we call triggers, ie. pollen, smoke, strong scent, respiratory syncytial virus, dust mites, etc.
