Asthma - any advice

I touched on this in a post yesterday. All advice gratefully recieved.
My son is 14. Excema as a baby, hayfever for ever, this year we were told he has asthma.Fit young guy who loves his sport, does not smoke but is now using 2 inhalers.It started suddenly one night and must admit it frightened the life out of me to see him gasping for breath.
I have hoovered, dusted, bought him a new bed, anti-allergenic covers and pillows. We have 2 cats, always banned from his bedroom.
The GP advised staying away from dairy products, so yesterday I bought some soya milk for him to try--it was not a hit!
Why the trying everything we can think of I hear you ask, well my OH is terrified of the asthma diagnosis. His father died at a young age,and had bad asthma.When my son starts wheezing my OH is out of the room in a flash.
Any other things you can suggest we try?
