Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
Your history suggests that your daughter is suffering from Bronchial asthma.
Some children will have spontaneous recovery by the time they are 16-17 years of age.
Other wise life long management is necessary.
If you identify the triggering factors and avoid them many attacks can be prevented.
Better be under constant supervision of the pediatrician.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
