Mis diagnosis of childhood asthma

Mis diagnosis of childhood asthma

Hi, I know it's hard for you to look at without medical notes. But when I was probally about 5 I had a cough after a viral infection, the doctor said it was asthma and gave me an inhaler. I haven't touched an inhaler since they ran out. I'v never had any problems with breathing except that cough or any form of an asthma attack. I was wondering if asthma is ever mis diagnosed? Is it worth going to my doctor to discuss?
thanks, GJS1

Asthma can be misdiagnosed.  I do not know how old you are now and how long ago you were diagnosed, but there is new technology to test your lung capacity now.  If you are concerned, you should see your doctor.  He can do spirometry on you to test your lungs and tell you if you have asthma or not.  It is also possible to outgrow asthma.  Hope this helps.
