Hi,

I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, possibility of asthma is more likely in your daughter 's case.
So better to consult pediatrician and get done clinical examination of respiratory system.
She will need
1. Combination of antihistamine (levocetrizine) and anti allergic (montelukast).
2. Inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or salmeterol) and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone).
Please let me know
1. Has she taking any of the above mentioned drugs?
2. Have you consulted with pediatrician about asthma?
Please reply me answers of above asked questions, so that I can guide you better. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your daughter. Thanks.
