Whether a child with cough-variant asthma will outgrow the condition upon reaching adulthood depends on individual circumstances and requires comprehensive evaluation. If the disease is relatively mild and the child has good overall physical health, the likelihood of spontaneous remission in adulthood is higher. Conversely, if the condition is more severe and the child’s constitution is relatively weak, the chance of spontaneous resolution in adulthood is lower.
