Allergic Asthma
My 4-year old has severe cough every other week. His heart beat goes to 150+ and he breathes very fast when he coughs. We have got him tested and one doctor said it happens in children while the other said he have allergic asthma. Whom should I consider. When we give him Montek syrup his cough subsides. And most importantly I never has asthma before nor anyone in my family. Whenever my kid has these coughs it is spreading to me and I am also getting cough every other week like if he has dry cough I get that if he has wet I too have the same. If it's allergic asthma does it spread like this? Are there any tests that can rule out the symptoms and get him the right treatment.
Pls help

As you said the child often gets cough and cold with increased breathing it is very likely to be an allergic cough which is very common in children. Incidence decreases as the child grows. Most of them improves by the age 6-7. Those crosses this age will mostly improve by the age 12 years. History allergy is very likely to exist in family at present you also seems to be having allergies. But many times allergy history in family is not very significant.
Next Steps
You should consult a doctor because many things are needed to be examined.
