Hi there! I don’t really think there’s any indication for that. From my experience as a mother of a son who has severe asthma or I should say had it. This child spent his life 17 yrs, in and out of the hospital since the day he was born. nebulizer and cortical steroids and inhalers and you name it. But the other day I suddenly realized we hadn’t been to the doctor and he hasn’t how do use his nebulizer or inhaler‘s for a while and it’s been the same for two years now no asthma attacks no inhaler no anything. So I am just taken back by this whole experience right now.

My daughter seemed to outgrow hers, but since I don't live near her I can't tell. She is in her thirties
