Confusing statement: Your statement gives no clue whether your asthma is active now or not, or what your question is.Much of the wheezing in early childhood will disappear by school age.True asthma varies in its intensity need for any treatment over time and as the patient ages. Treatment is based on stabilizing function, not a "cure".How you treated it then is likely irrelevant.
