Virus triggers asthma like symptoms?

Hi. I’m wondering if anyone knows someone or has gotten asthma like symptoms from a virus that went away after the virus went away? I read one article online that it happened to someone and was wondering how often it happens.

This is what initially happened to me flu like symptoms and I also had the flu vaccine. They day that viruses can be a trigger for asthma.

I think it is possible for asthma like symptoms to go away after the virus tho. The gp said this to me initially although in my case this was true!!

No I'm on level 4 treatment but I also have an issue with reflux now as well but was fit and well prior to the flu like symptoms 😂 I believe it is possible for asthma like symptoms to go away tho with the resolution of the virus if that helps 😊
