What Causes Lung Infection With Cough?

Hi my son is 4 years old. In the last 18 months I have been told that he has asthma as he has a frequent dry cough which persists to the point of vomitting at times. He was taken to thee hospital today and was told that his right lung is infected and that I should see a specialist to have his adenoid glands checked. This is the first time that his adenoids have been mentioned. what would be my best course of action?
