Asthma is a chronic respiratory disease which cannot be cured. Young children suffering from asthma can outgrow it but some children might outgrow the disease and may have it appearing again sometime during their adulthood.
Evidence suggests that the risk of asthma is reduced in children with a history of certain infections, rural living, exposure to other children (including older siblings), and less frequent use of antibiotics.
