HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Asthma normally presents with chest pain, shortness of breath, wheezing, night time cough.If he does not have these typical asthmatic symptoms then he is not likely an asthmatic.
The seretide inhalor would help if he is an asthmatic but would not help with allergies.
Sneezing is not a symptom of asthma but in a person who is known to have asthma, allergies can make the asthma worse.
Montelukast is used in persons with allergies and also persons with asthma.
If possible , you may want to consider allergy testing to find out what causes his allergies, then it can be eliminated and the symptoms would reduce.
A topical steroid nasal spray , in addition to the montelukast may also be helpful.
I hope this helps
