Introduction: Worldwide, respiratory problems pose a serious threat to public health. Asthma is among one of the most prevalent respiratory conditions. According to WHO estimates, 300 million people worldwide suffer with bronchial asthma at the moment. In India, the prevalence at age six to seven varies between 4 and 32%.
