Flu-like Symptoms, Wheezing, Loss Of Appetite, Vomiting All Fluid Given.

Thanks for posting your query.
Flu like symptoms with wheezing in a small child is usually due to chest infection as Pneumonitis.If there is associated fever then antibiotics are the main stay of treatment.
The child requires a detailed examination by the Pediatrician to find out the cause of infection and then needs medications to be prescribed.
Meanwhile for symptomatic relief, follow these measures-
1. Avoid dust, excessive humidity, sudden change in temperatures and any known allergen.
2. Whenever symptoms appear,give steam inhalation twice daily - Take hot water in a vessel, put eucalyptus oil in it.See to it that fans/AC are not on during this and after some time also i.e. around 10-15 minutes.
4. Avoid all irritants like perfumes, soot, etc.
5.Use normal saline nasal drops for decongestion which encourages drainage.
6.Use a humidifier in room.
Hope this answers your query.I will be available for follow up query if any.
