I was diagnosed with Asthma in the early 1980's. I was taking theophylline for many years when it stopped working. Some time in the 90's, my doctor gave me Singulair and I've been taking it ever since. My asthma is still under control. I guess your body can develop a resistance, but, in my case, it seems to be over a very long period of time.

How does asthma affect body temperature?
To my knowledge, and after a quick browse through various medical pages and forums, I do not think Asthma will affect the body temperature (seldom, having an asthma attack might lower or raise your temperature as your body goes into "shock mode".) However, if anything, body temperature, I.E: lowering of the body temperature when sleeping or heightening of the temperature when exercising can be a trigger to asthma; but not the other way around.
