If a lot of school is missed for any reason, school problems can start. Most of the time school and learning improve after asthma medicines are started.

Is it possible to build up a tolerance to asthma and allergy medications taken regularly?
No, you can't build up a tolerance to any medications used to treat asthma or allergies. If your medicine does not seem to be working well, you may be experiencing increased asthma or allergy symptoms that require a change in your care plan. Asthma or allergy "flare ups" often occur during pollen season, when you have a cold, or as air pollution levels increase. Consult your doctor about modifying your medications to help manage your symptoms better when they increase.
