Search for another dignosis... Is it really asthma? maybe we should do an epirometry if its possible and an X-Ray. Think in other causes for isolate cough like GERD, medications, allergic rhinitis. But if the hypothesis still is asthma, before double dose steroid we can try add leukotriene modifier.
