How Can Bronchial Infection Causing Cold And Cough Be Treated?

My kid is 2 years old. In India, he had frequent cold and fever. He was administered Allegra, ventorlin and Switch drops. We recently moved to Ghana and since last one month he is having severe cold and cough. He continuously coughs at night,short and dry cough. He gets OK if I switch off the AC. The place we stay is very dusty and his doctor say he has Bronchial infection. He was on Viscof D, Viscof S and now on Broncoped with Allegra. He is ok with medicine but if I stop it, same condition. Also, he has developed very fine small boils on his all fingers. Please advice. I am scared that he does nt develop Bronchial Ashtma. Should we change the place of stay. Is my concern fair enough?

Pediatrician,  's  Response
from the above description, your child seems to have a reactive airways , so the most important thing to do is altering the environment, like : keeping him away from perfumes , dust , carpets , incense , any sick children with common colds
the 2nd step is to assess how bad is it by his pediatrician , to start him on controller medications either by inhalers or nebulizer
I hope this helps
