Hi,
Thanks for asking query on health care magic.
You can use inhaler to your baby with the help of a spacer.
You can attach one end of the spacer to the inhaler and through the other end the baby takes respiration.
Wheesing in an infant usually due to asthma spontaneously cures itself by 16-17 years of age in some cases.
In some it is a life long problem.
You can prevent an attack by removing the triggering factors.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose.
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required.
Take care
