Probably: Asthma is generally considered a lifelong chronic illness with underlying airway inflammation and hyper-responsiveness. When treated appropriately is can be controlled to prevent irreversible remodeling of the airways, but there is no cure. You can go into periods of quiescence throughout your life, but asthma can re-activate at any time depending on the specific trigger.
