Yes: It's actually pretty common for someone with childhood asthma to have recurrence as an adult. I have had that too.

Yes: Not unusual. Maybe you have developed an allergy i.e. To pets or environment, or are under stress, or started smoking, any of these can trigger recurrence of asthma. Discuss with your dr.

Yes: There is no known cure for asthma but patients can have very long symptom-free intervals and then, suddenly, have an exacerbation. So, it is very possible to have asthma symptoms in childhood followed by a lengthy remission and then have symptoms again. See your physician as there are many meds available to control your symptoms.
