- You cannot outgrow asthma. In about 50% of children with asthma, the condition may become inactive in the teenage years. The symptoms, however, may reoccur anytime in adulthood
2.- You have a 6% chance of having asthma if neither parent has the condition, a 30% chance if one parent has it, and a 70% chance if both parents
3.F - Asthma is not contagious.

U have to be willinng to help your partner out because they are days when they are going to be ill and need you to help. avoid carpets in the house and try to air your matress regularly
it would help if you could get a humidifier for your partner and also learn what u can do to help them if they have an attack. I believe they can grow out of it becoz when i fell pregnant i stopped getting attacks and my baby is almost 2 now and i havent heard one. but it can also get worse with preganancy.
make sure they don't take anything with aspirin and watch out for some preservatives in stuff like fruit juices.

if in doubt, just google it,
support your partner

Try Noni juice or xango. They are wonderful in fighting allergies.
