Asthama or Allergic Cough

My daughter having night time cough for last 3-4 years. We use to give her nebulizers (Levolin/Budecort). This cough comes after (15 days or 1 month or 1.5 months). Recently doctor calls it asthama and i am giving her budecort for last 4 month (still she got cough in between and introduce levolin) . Visited 3-4 doctors already and everyone say it is fine to go with budecort for long term (2 years or so). Family call it "chochle of cities" as in their small towns doctors always give steam and no inhalers. So i have doubt if it is asthama or allergic cough as it is recurring? And any suggestion on treatment
