Cold, Wheezing Problem And Chest Congestion, Cough. Had Pneumonia. He Is In Centralized AC Facility School Even This May Cause
Hi
I have 3.5 year old son who often gets cold during changing weather and has wheezing problem and chest congestion. He even have coughing problem at night. He even had Pneumonia when he was 2.5 months old and after that it has become quite prominent. Also, he goes to a play school which has centralized AC facility, can that be also a reason. How can this frequent ly having cold and wheezing be reduced?

regular intake of citrus fruits supplement with vitamin c syrups to build resistance. prevention is better than cure.some children are more prone to cold and as they grow the problem lessens on its own. But be careful for making him avoid extremes of weather, smoke and dusty environment. Ac rooms are dust free and is harmless unless it is run on very low temperature for long.
