Get it checked!: One never really outgrows asthma. You can have no symptoms for years and then it will flair up again. There may also be something else going on so please have it checked out soon.

Hard to be sure: Much of the wheezing in infancy and early childhood is more related to infections than true asthma. More than half will outgrow that by school age & never be troubled later in life. Most girls with true asthma have symptoms by 4 and will have intermittent flares through life. The symptoms you cite may be related to infection,asthma or infection triggered asthma. You need to be seen to sort it out.
