Asthma, cough, ADHD: Cough is most probably due to asthma. Because of airway hyper sensitivity, asthma patients cough. Continue the inhaler, if not better, she will probably add controller med. Continue strattera (atomoxetine) as prescribed. Avoid cough triggers, e.g. Strong odors/ perfumes, allergens, quit smoking if you do, keep yourself hydrated. Honey in tea is a good cough suppressant. See your doc. If not better.

Cough med+strattera: You can take a cough medicine that does not contain a cough suppressant, which may counter the efffect of strattera (atomoxetine). Speak to your doctor, you may need a change in your asthma medicaiton.
