Asthma

Thank God, now i have recovered from sickness. Back to work as usual after 2 days mc. This illness really killing me! I've encoutered sleep disorder because my chest tightening, my lung wheezing all night, plus flu and coughing. What is the best cure for asthma? i have been suffering this illness since childhood. The elderly said, when somebody is asthmatic from kid the illness will dissappear when he/she grown up. Is it true? But mine still in, not as often as before, the attack is somewhat once for 2/3months. My worries is, i have a baby in 1year 9months and still breastfeed. Could it be contagious?
