Pilot + Chest Infection

In my childhood i was prescribed inhaler pumps for a chest infection. After a few weeks it all cleared up and i havent had anything since. I was under 10 when it happened.

No amount of physical excersie makes me wheeze or have any asthmatic symptoms, ive even been checked over by a doctor and given the all clear. Ive been given my medical records and it doesnt say asthma anywhere. Just i had a chest infection and was given pumps.

Is this likely to be a no when applying to aircrew roles?

I hope this is the right section to ask, thanks!

Only an AFCO and a Doctor can give you a definitive answer, however I cannot see a common infection at age 10 being a bar to entry?

I had Pleurisy, basically caused by a chest infection, while in basic training and am now in my 23rd year in the RAF. It should not be a problem :)
