But every time, one can to be termed as asthma, since the tunes may have infected due to various reasons, like common cold or pollution in which case the tubes may return to normal function with or without medications.
Hence, we must watch out if the malfunctioning of these airways is a permanent feature i.e. asthma or a temporary feature.
