Detailed Answer:

Hi,

I have read your query. Kindly post complete details of your symptoms. Which all symptoms you have and for how long.
There can be recurrent cold in asthmatics. One contributer can be steroidal medication or irritation due to inhaler. Other reason could be a viral or bacterial infection. Or it could just be allergy

I will suggest the following tests to narrow the diagnosis:
-Sputum for culture and sensitivity at a reputed laboratory.
-Blood sample for complete blood count
-Chest Xray PA view

Further treatment can be guided as per its report.
