Hi,I had gone through your query and understand your concern.

This is tough to confirm the diagnosis of Childhood asthma since it is often not possible to perform objective test.But these symptoms are suggestive of high probability of asthma.

Since your baby is not responding with the medications (?name of drugs) of asthma,I would emphasize on proper inhalation technique and step care management of asthma.Now a days,there are a number baby friendly devices for proper inhalation of medicine.Besides,I would rule out other possible diseases like bronchitis,cystic fibrosis etc.

So my opinion is: Please consult with a respiratory pediatrician to confirm the diagnosis and get treated accordingly.

Hope this helps you.Please do not hesitate to write us if you have additional queries.Wish your baby good health.
