Could allergy induced asthma turn in copd?

Yes.: Uncontrolled persistent asthma causes airway remodeling that can slowly progress to emphysema (quicker in smokers and people with severe reflux). Treatment of underlying conditions can deter that from happening.

Possibly: If asthma is poorly treated, it is possible for the changes - which are typically reversible in asthma - to be permanent. So, make sure your asthma is under the best control.
