Your son is suffering from asthma which is sporadic. His asthma symptoms seem to come only with change of weather or with cold drink He should take medicines only when his symptoms are likely to get aggravated ie with change of season. These can be started little before the weather is going to change and continued for some time and then tapered off once the weather has improved. He should avoid very cold water and artificially flavoured cold drinks.
