Asthma is a chronic lung illness that damages the airways. It is caused by inflammation and constriction of the respiratory airways. Which causes recurrent bouts of shortness of breath with wheezing in the chest (wheezing) followed by coughing and phlegm following inhalation of chemicals that cause allergies, and the severity and frequency of these attacks varies. It is one of the most prevalent illnesses that vary from person to person. Some studies have indicated that the etiology of asthma attacks is related to hereditary or environmental factors, and that severe asthma attacks can lead to suffocation and death. For prediction of an asthma attack, a nitric oxide test, which detects the quantity of nitric oxide gas in the breath, requires various procedures. If inflammation occurs in the airways, for asthma sufferers, the amount of nitric oxide is greater than normal and this test is not frequent. Examination of X-rays: X-rays are used for asthma diagnosis and are represented in lung and nasal cavity imagers as a consequence of examinations and patient transport problems for testing on the aforementioned difficulties. x-rays are used to diagnose asthma. A novel approach for the detection of asthma and airway inflammation, based on measures of the degree of respiratory temperature, has been suggested in this study. This measurement includes the exhalation temperature through sensors to monitor outside air temperature. It is inexpensive and easy to use and is done to determine the severity of inflammation in airways and to anticipate asthma episodes through the temperature monitoring process. In this process other case studies, especially in the diagnosis, monitoring and successful therapy of patients, were launched.
