Odd issue: This would have nothing to do with childhood asthma. How being away from home effects your tendency toward any set of symptoms is unclear. Is there an increase in anxiety, self awareness or anticipation that you will always get sick ? This may be a self fulfilling prophecy based more on anxiety than a real disease. Discuss it with your doc. A life coach may help.

Throat culture: I would suggest culturing the throat and nasal passages for bacterial and viral causes of the problem. You may like to schedule a virtual consultation which can help you and your physician.
