Hello,
No. I don’t think so. If you are taking already inhalers it means that the bronchial obstruction is evident .To know if it will be asthma than you need to do a spirometry test. Regarding the microbial component I don’t think it is the your case.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
