If you truly had influenza, it would be a rare time of the year to contract it. Are you sure you had the flu? Or did you have some other viral illness? Either way, a viral illness can take several weeks to resolve, leaving patients lethargic and weak. If you have no contra indication or barrier to exercise, you should of course do 20-30 minutes of aerobic exercise at least 3-4 times per week. You should hydrate yourself adequately and take in enough calories to cover your exercise debt. If your symptom are not improving or if they are worsening, consult your doctor.

The Answer is lengthy, but to be short, YES.

Most asthmatics, with the exception of runner asthmatics, are exposed to an environmental allergen which causes inflammation of the linings of the airways.
If the stimulus is removed, e.g.:removing a cat from your home after testing positive for cat dander on an antigen panel, one can seemingly make their asthma "go away". It is also true that younger atopic (allergic) individuals become less allergic with age, hence childhood asthma seemingly wanes with age for some individuals.

Lastly, there is always the misdiagnosis of asthma in lieu of other similar syndromes: ABPA, Occupational toxins , etc....
