Not that easy: Asthma is chronic inflammation of the lungs and while there is no cure, it can be controlled. Frequently "asthma" will resolve in children by the age of 6 years old (these kids have no allergies, eczema or family history of asthma). As an adult, it is less likely the asthma will resolve. To control asthma, avoid triggers and with the help of an asthma specialist, a treatment plan can help.

Follow treatment: Asthma can last a long time, and smoking or being around smoke will almost always make it worse. Some people are sick a lot of the time with it, others only a little. There's no total cure, but medicine can control the problems you have. Talk to your doctor about your breathing. They can decide how big a problem the asthma is and the best treatment for it.

See an allergist: In all likelihood your asthma is triggered by allergies, if you see and allergist, who identifies you allergies and recommends allergy shots, there is a good chance your symptoms will improve and possibly clear up to a large extent. Allergy shots will build up your immunity to the things you are allergic and reduce your asthma problems/.

Control: Asta is a chronic disease and the aim is to control the symptoms. Be mindful of your diet and make sure you are not allergic to anything. Do not smoke or be exposed to it. Watch fumes, from any source. Use your medications as they are prescribed and see either an allergist or a pulmonologist so you can be further evaluated.
