hi welcome to HMC
i am concerned about you child
as your son is having wheeze which is not reduced inspite of giving levolin and budecort nebulisation, i would like to suggest use of oral steroids at the dose of 1mg/kg body weight and if he is having any fever use of antibiotica such as azithromycin
you can give along with this levolin nebu;isation thrice daily.if not subsided you can give duolin nebulisation(levolin+ipratropium)
hope my answer is useful
