Does it happen that people get rid of asthma for good?

Dr. Sue Ferranti answered

Specializes in Internal Medicine

Not curable: Asthma is not curable but there are plenty of treatments available to control and relieve symptoms. Asthmatics can experience long symptom-free intervals but there is no cure at this time and an asthma exacerbation can occur at any time. See your doctor for the best treatment possible for you.
