Can you develop asthma after having bronchitis and covid?

Yes, it is possible to develop asthma after having bronchitis and COVID-19. Bronchitis and COVID-19 can cause inflammation in the airways, which can lead to scarring and narrowing of the airways. This scarring and narrowing can make it difficult to breathe, leading to asthma symptoms.

Asthma can develop at anytime in a person's lifetime. It can develop after a respiratory tract infection or getting a cat or dog or developing a food allergy, for example. An episode of pneumonia can sensitize a person's bronchial tree to develop asthmatic wheezing whenever he/she comes down with a case of bronchitis.
