my kids had asthma when they were little but were not born with it. i had asthma when i got really sick with a bronchial infection. so i guess the answer is yes you can get it even if you were not born with it. most times it will go away after a while of treatment. but sometimes it can come back. it can keep coming and going but you will learn what to look for to know when to see the dr.
