A member asked:

When i was a child i had asthma which went away. i now have pneumonia and when i breathe i am wheezing could my asthma be back? what should i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hard to say: About 70% of the wheezing in childhood is not asthma but infectious wheezing.It often disappears by school age never to return.There are also asthma patients that present as kids, become symptom free for a period & emerge again with asthma as adults.There are also forms of pneumonia that produce wheezing. Since there is such overlap, only time will tell. Discuss this with your doc & plan as needed
