Hello,

Iā€™m sorry to hear that however, it can be controlled. Starting with having a good pulmonary doctor and proper control medications with her rescue inhaler always on her. Have her check for allergies as well and that will help you see what also can set her asthma. Keep her environment clean. Swimming is a good sport for asthma kids. Blowing bubbles is an excellent exercise to help her with her lungs.
I wouldn't say it can be "fixed' - it can be treated so that it doesn't cause issues or, if an issue arises, it can be treated and the issue/breathing difficultly relieved.
