Yes: Antibiotic may be used if you have a sinus infection or bacterial bronchitis , otherwise it is not a common practice. Persistent asthma is usually treated with an inhaled steroid plus a bronchodilator for acute attacks.

Asthma: An upper respiratory infection can trigger asthma symptoms in some individuals and can cause a lingering dry cough after a cold. It is treated as your doctor did. You did not mention if you had nasal allergies, as these come hand in hand, follow up with the allergist, you are on the right track.
