Is there any way to increase my chances of asthma "going away" as I grow up?Yes, I understand that asthma does not truly ever "go away". I am a guy 15 years old, late in puberty, who has a mild case of asthma. It usually only affects me during the winter months, where it gets very cold where I live and I usually use my inhaler once a night. Truth be told, it never really affects me during the day, just at night, so I guess I'm (kinda?) lucky. Obviously, I have heard that puberty-high testosterone does not mix well with asthma, and that's why it is pronounced on young males, especially during puberty. However, is there any way I can ensure that as I grow, the symptoms will be minimized as much as possible? Such as something like living a healthy lifestyle, getting enough sleep, taking an inhaler every night, some food, etc.? Thanks, I just don't want to keep having to use an inhaler every night :P

P.S. I also run Cross Country, and that + the cold makes me use the inhaler every night.

It sounds as if you are using a rescue inhaler instead of one of the long term inhalers which treat the shortness of breath and the inflammation in the lungs and bronchial tubes. Flovent - Pulmacort - Salmeterol -Spiriva
I have had asthma for over 40 years, and there are times when it was very mild or almost non existent.
My daughter, is a cross county runner and marathon runner and she has had asthma for over 40 years - she uses one of the long term inhalers - she has had asthma since she was 8 years old
Are you under the care of a physician -?
usually they recommend one of the long term type inhalers-
This type has really helped my daughter be almost symptom free.
My ashtma is so mild that I only use Theophylline tablets and it has kept my asthma
l almost symptom free.
Cold weather does affect asthmatics - certain molds and pollens during certain times of the year can make symptoms act up.
You really need to talk with your doctor about using one of the long term type inhalers instead of just the 'rescue' type.
