A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible but: It is difficult to make a diagnosis of asthma before age 3 years and thus one needs to follow the child longer to find out. He is more likely to have asthma if (a) He wheezes without an infection. (b) He has a positive skin test to one or more allergens. (c)He has eczema (d) YOu have asthma. The course of the father's asthma does not affect the prognosis in your child.
