Hello.
Thank you for asking at HCM.
I went through your history and would like to make suggestions for you as follows:
1. A cough responding to Montek LC may or may not be asthma. It can be cough due to allergic rhinitis or sinusitis also.
2. Have you ever had wheezing or difficult respiration? If no, you may not have asthma. I would suggest you spirometry with post-bronchodilator study to diagnose/rule out asthma.
3. As long as "cure" in allopathy, allergen specific immunotherapy provides long term relief, almost like a "cure". Other medications only control the asthma symptoms, do not cure it.
Hope above answers solves your query.
Should you have any other query, please feel free to ask at HCM.
Wish you the best of the health.
Thank you & Regards.
