In: 7
Asthma destroys the lungs.
>Airway and lung damage, also known as airway remodeling, is a long-term process where chronic and uncontrolled inflammation from uncontrolled asthma causes irreversible scarring of the lungs and airways.
Respiratory illnesseses also hurt the lungs.
>COVID-19 can cause lung complications such as pneumonia and, in the most severe cases, acute respiratory distress syndrome, or ARDS.
Both of these are bad. Both of these cause problems for your lungs. Both, together, are worse.
