Asthma and best place to live

Anyone else get a cold every month and it gets worse because of the asthma?  My daughter starts out with a cold every month and some months are worse than others but she gets a cold every month and sometimes it goes into pneumonia.  She has had a pneumonia about 4-5 times (she is 7)  in the past 4 years.  The doctors keep telling me getting a cold every month is normal for a child but this isn't my first child and my first child did NOT have a cold every month I don't think this is normal.
