Answers
A
Viral asthma, is a temporary asthma that is caused by an inflammation of the bronchi caused by a virus. It is a temporary respiratory disease that is usually treated with an inhaler.Viral asthma patients may have a flare up again with something as small as the common cold, because it is a virus. Crohn's Disease is a bowel inflammatory disease that inflames the digestive system, any place from the mouth to the anus. The severity of symptoms vary from person to person and the place in the digestive system where the flare ups occur are dependent on the individual as well. There is no link between these two ailments, as they both affect different systems of the body.
