One of my children coughed for 13 mths, and it wasn't until she started coughing blood (just from the continual strain), that she was finally put on asthma meds. BUT, my doctor gave me a large bottle of antihistamines as well, and I could sometimes avoid the asthma attacks before they started.
I did know what triggered them by then. She would break out in hives immediately she contacted anything she was allergic to.
Good luck!
