It may be due to the change in the weather. Follow your doctor's advice and do not start medication from the suggestions you may receive.

As an asthmatic, I can tell you that it will not go away in 10 days. If she does have asthma, medicines can keep it under control but can not cure it. She will need to be on medication for the rest of her life, and she needs a rescue inhaler for asthma attacks.
If she is just having a cough, it could be something else. Asthma symptoms are shortness of breath accompanied by a tight chest. During this you feel like you have to keep exhaling because you can't get enough air out of your lungs.
There is no special diet needed. They suggest trying to stay at a healthy weight. It can be hard to do since exercise can trigger an asthma attack, and steroids are a big part of treatment and they make you feel hungry constantly.
Future health won't be affected much. She will need to get flu and pneumonia vaccines to prevent those illnesses. Any illness that affects the lungs are harder on an asthmatic. With those precautions and proper medication, she can lead a normal life.

There is a flu virus going around, I use Vick's vapour rub and a humidifier, if you have already seen the doctor. Also many people wear a coat or sweater, but if you try a scarf and take you jacket off when you enter your house or business, your temper some what can maintain it self. If the cough is dry yes you sound like you may have what the doctor said, my son gets bronchitis, so I use what I mentioned, it really helps.

Many asthmatics, like those who suffer from other chronic disorders, use alternative treatments; surveys show that roughly 50% of asthma patients use some form of unconventional therapy.There are little data to support the effectiveness of most of these therapies. A Cochrane systematic review of acupuncture for asthma found no evidence of efficacy. A similar review of air ionisers found no evidence that they improve asthma symptoms or benefit lung function; this applied equally to positive and negative ion generators. A study of "manual therapies" for asthma, including osteopathic, chiropractic, physiotherapeutic and respiratory therapeutic manoeuvers, found there is insufficient evidence to support or refute their use in treating asthma; these manoeuvers include various osteopathic and chiropractic techniques to "increase movement in the rib cage and the spine to try and improve the working of the lungs and circulation"; chest tapping, shaking, vibration, and the use of "postures to help shift and cough up phlegm." On the other hand, one meta-analysis found that homeopathy has a potentially mild benefit in reducing symptom intensity;however, the number of patients involved in the analysis was small, and subsequent studies have not supported this finding. Several small trials have suggested some benefit from various yoga practices, ranging from integrated yoga programs —"yogasanas, Pranayama, meditation, and kriyas"—to sahaja yoga a form of meditation.
