My eight-year-old daughter takes a preventer and reliever inhaler for her asthma. Her symptoms have eased in the past two years, and she rarely gets an attack. Is it possible she could grow out of the condition and no longer need medication?

Asthma is one of the most common respiratory conditions in Ireland, affecting one in 10 children and one in 13 adults.
