It is possible that thatched roofs and the dust they generate can trigger asthma. All airway infections can also trigger asthma in a person who is pre-disposed to allergy. You have an airway infection at present, seeing as initial treatment did not clear it, I would suggest that you see your doctor again for a throat swab to determine the causation and effective treatment, as cortisone can be contra indicated if the infection is not under control. Your current attack of asthma can also be treated with other Chat Doctor.  If at all possible see a physician well versed in treating asthma.
