Asthma and Wheezing

Feb 10th, 2012 - We went to Hawii trip. The weather was good. we went to volcano beach. There the sand was black. One day she went to snorkling in that beach 10 feet deep. We came back on Feb 16th from the trip to Dallas. 18th was raining. cough started from Monday. I took her to the doc on Wed, She told that she has pharygitis. No need antibiotic. Just use allery medicine and inhaler albuterol. I tried some homeopathy med belladona or something. Not remembered exactly. After one week I took her to the wellchild appointment. At that time she told Asthma and wheezing. We used steroid, singilair, flovent. We did allergy test about tree,grass, weed pollen. But those are very, very mild. It started again in Apr 10th. Initially it starts like dry cough, ten after 4 or 5 days feeling little bit congestion in the chest. No mucos, no chest pain, nothing. Just cough. No family history.
1. Describe in detail the main problem - appearance, colour, shape, symptoms, behaviour etc. What happens, when it happens etc.
tiredness, feels like dry cough. last time she was getting continuosly cough, day and night time. But this time not that much. only getting day time cough. no night time cough. Nothing happens, just getting only cough.
2. Describe any pains or behaviours associated with the symptoms.
no pains. She is feeling tiredness and little bit dull.
3. Describe anything that makes the problem worse ie. position, temperature, food etc.
nothing
4. Describe anything that makes the problem better ie. pain is better for cold bathing or at night in bed.
better at night in better
5. Go through each symptom or problem he/she has, doing the same thing (answering questions 1-4), even if the problem does not seem connected to any others.
Usually she has rhinitic allergy, sinusitis, Upper respiratory Infection. Most of the times she has rhinitic allergy. She got cold with yellowish thick discharge from the nose. nasal congestion, nose blocking, once in a year gets strep. last year in summer, we've joined her in swimming. She got sinus infection. If we put nose cap, then she was ok. Without nose cap, she was getting nasal congestion and sinus infection. My doubt is she went to snorkling in the volcano ocean water 10 feet deep. because this she did get any allergy problem. I never heard this kind of cough. But no pain in chest, nothing.
6. When did each problem start? What happened around that same time?
