Hello,

As you explain the situation in my opinion all of his signs and symptoms might be related to asthma and are an indication that the asthma is not well controlled. I suggest you to sent him to his treating doctor to re-evaluate his situation again closely.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
