Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Inhalation therapy including inhalation steroids (serflo) is standard treatment and prophylaxis for wheezing considered to be allergic . These drugs are reasonably safe to use on long term basis. ( risk /benefit analysis is in favor of their use ) . In case of history of asthma/allergy in family is chances of this wheezing due to asthma are more .
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.
Take care.
