A member asked:

I am an adult with reactive airways disease. will this get worse with time?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not necessarily: Reactive airways are a type of asthma that occur in reaction to viruses, respiratory infections, etc. As long as you recognize the symptoms early and treat them, you should be fine.
