Hi! This coughing had all started when I was in Chile in January... I would cough basically 24/7 over there... The family I was staying with gave me many remedies to stop the coughing ,but it didn't help. So when I got back to the U.S. I went to the doctor and she said it was acutebronchitis,gave me medicine, the whole bit...it still didn't help. I needed a new docter cause the one I had was a pediatrician. So I got an inhaler from this new doctor, used it and was fine for so many weeks almost a month or so. Then I went to the Christina Aguilera concert, screamed my head off, and brought it on. That was in April. I have been on inhalers for quite a while. I have never had asthma in my life (am 21 now). I have had lung problems due to my preamturity like bronchitis and pneumonia as a baby, but that's basically it.

The docter wants to see me in six months if I am not better.. I am better but still coughing and wheezing a lot. The last time I went she told me that my asthma is really bad and gave me a flovent inhaler and a rescue one. It is now June almost July saw her in the middle of May. Should I go back and see her or wait it out untill my inhaler is finished? I basically had asthma for like 3 months now but never knew it till I went to this new docter who is my current one.

Is it normal to get ashtma later in life when you never had it before? Thanks!
