son diagnosed with asthma

Hi.My 9 year old son has been diagnosed with asthma after coughing incessantly from morning to night for over a month
He does not have wheezing though he complains of a  chest pain and was down with fever last week
The ped has put him onto a daily dose of turbuhaler(twice a day) which he has beeen taking for the past 3 weeks and prescribed other medicines
The next step is I plan to have an allergy test done on him on next Monday and trying out the elimination diet process starting next week
Is  there anything else I need to do besides keeping him away from pollen,dust and the other standard allergens?
I am worried and would appreciate any responses on this
Regards
