Children that have asthma tend to get more respitory illnesses, sinus infections and have stronger reactions to your everyday colds. For some children you wouldn't even notice the symptoms, but for a child with asthma it is much different. When my daughter was that age she got croup all the time.
If she is doing breathing treatments twice a day that could be your reason for not napping during the day. Is she on albuterol? For some children it is a stimulant. If she is taking steroid meds that could seriously effect her moods and behavior as well. My daughter occasionally has to take tapered steroids and we dread when that happens. My sweet little angel is a tyrant on steroids. She is a completely different child. Also, irritability can be a symptom of asthma/lack of oxygen. Possible asthma symptoms--coughing, wheezing, tightness in chest, difficulty breathing, irritability
