Hi...it could be viral associated wheeze or multi triggered wheeze. I have a few questions for you -
Questions:
1. How many days per month does she cough or feel breathless?
2. How many nights per month does her sleep get disturbed due to above symptoms?
3. Does she feel breathless when she runs around or plays with other kids?
4. Are the symptoms when there are seasonal changes?
5. Is there any family history of asthma or any other sort of allergies like skin allergy etc.?
6. Is the cough always associated with fever?
Kindly get back to me with the answers and I will try to guide you. I don't thing removing tonsils is a solution for this problem. Moreover a kid less than 5 years cannot be labelled as asthmatic.
No point in using Lasma (Monteleukast) alone without proper assessment of symptom severity.
