firstly, there is no cure for asthma, however what u can do is bring ur son for excersices, regularly though not stressing him out as it may cause an asthma attack, be sure to bring an inhaler whereever he goes and buy some body stregthening pills, u should also consult a doctor, when ur son is about 6-9 yrs old, bring him for swimming classes as that would strengthen his lungs and help out significantly
One thing I've heard from many, many people is to not consume any dairy. No milk, no cheese (including anything with cheese in it), no ice cream. Try this for two weeks and see what happens. I've heard people have had great improvement to a full cure by just eliminating dairy. Can't hurt!

For asthma you need to visit your family doctor. Depending on the severity of his condition, they may need to prescribe medications. Today's asthma medications allow a person to live a normal life, even if the condition doesn't entirely go away.
Some people find the condition lessens or disappears entirely as they get older. But only time can tell that.
It is also quite possible that he was reacting to the antibiotics (many people are allergic to penicillin and other antibiotics).
I don't believe anti-biotics caused your son's asthma.
Asthma is constriction of the airway and swelling from inflammation, brought on by an allergic reaction.
I have had it since I was 3, and I'm a grandfather now.
Many people believe that the increase in air pollution has caused many more kids to become asthmatic.
My advice is to follow the doctors instructions for treatment; possibly he will need 'de-sensitizing' shots to prevent reaction to irritants.
I also believe that while it is important to take care, your son should be encouraged to participate in all normal activities. My doctor told my parents to keep me out of sports in school. I ignored this advice, and was a runner and played several team sports all through school.
Your son needs to learn what to do when an attack starts. Now there are albuterol inhalers for acute symptoms. When I was young I learned to lie quietly and concentrate on steady breathing until my airways cleared.
As he grows older he will learn to cope with it. Many millions of people have asthma, and most of them do fine, usually with medication.
Asthma is essentially caused by the body over-reacting to things it is allergic to and letting the passages of the lung constrict. It likely was not due to the antibiotics but instead to a genetic cause. Don't people in your family have frequent runny noses (allergic rhinitis), or eczema?
This is likely.
Sadly there is no cure for asthma, but attacks can be prevented by using several medications such as local steroids (not systemic so they don't have the same side effects). Consult your doctor for this.
As for the lack of growth. If your family tends to be on the short side this could be the cause. Some kids grow slowly for a period and then shoot up and catch the general population. Or probably your son is not eating enough. While at the doctor, you can let him advise you as to the best diet for him.
no there is no cure for asthma. Just treatment. With the proper treatment people with asthma can and do live absolutely normal lives. (for instance several world class athelets have or had asthma).
If your son is not under the care of a pediatric pulmonologist I would strongly suggest getting him seen by one asap. General doctors and pedi's have general knowledge of asthma. Pediatric Pulmonologist have specialized training in diseases and conditions of the respiratory system in infants, children and adolescents.
The antibiotics would not have *caused* the asthma, but they may have triggered the gene to become active. Asthma is often a hidden illness in families, because historically it has been so misdiagnosed. Growing up I had bronchitis, at least that was the diagnosis until I was 19, when suddenly I had asthma. Often people do not realize that asthma runs in their family because Joeys coughing after playing, or Tommy's bronchitis, or Annies delicate constitution, or Jenny's chest hurting was not recognized as being asthma.

ETA: one word of caution on swimming. Chlorine can trigger asthma flares. Be sure to pretreat before swimming and if the chlorine seems to bother his chest, stop and talk with your doctor about other possible treatment options to allow swimming.
ETA again: asthma is a growth stunting disease. If the body is having to use extra energy to breath then it doesn't have it to grow. Often once the correct medications are started full growth will be achieved. (for instance inhaled steroids at high dosages (over 800 mgs daily) have been shown to temporarily stunt growth for up to 1 yr, but research has shown that full growth is achieved
