listen your husband problem may be ABPA or simple allergic bronchitis
go for investigation total IgE and if it is more than 1000 then again go for IgE specific for aspergillus fumigatus. if possible send xray chest or CT
for meanwhile after giving blood sample take tab medrol 16 mg for 5 days you will get better results but after taking blood samples
thank you
