See your doc.: You should definitely see your doctor, sometimes an event in your environment or an infection can trigger asthma after a long quiescent period.

Asthma returns: It is common for asthma symptoms to recur. Usually the trigger is occupational exposure or infection. It's helpful that you recognized the symptoms. See your doctor for examination, lung function test and appropriate treatment. If symptoms occur more than twice a week during the day or twice a month at night, even if lung function is normal, then a daily controller medication is needed.
