Hi,
Recurrent wheezing may be caused by an allergic condition called ASTHMA. This is especially likely if she develops recurrent wheezing without fever, symptoms are more at night/early morning, worse during winter season, and if there is similar illness in parents/siblings or close relatives.
This is an allergic disease but may not be always caused by allergens outside. But surely try to avoid common allergens- dust, smoke, tobacco , cold air, feather, wool, talcum powder (try to find out common precipitants from such things so that it can be avoided) There are medicines to control this disease, although not a 100% cure. we can control this with inhaled medications and oral drugs depending on severity and control
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
