Hello dear.
I would like to have a more detailed history regarding the symptoms.
Do you have a family history of asthma or allergy?
Your child is an early wheezer.
I would advise a good antihistamine like levocetrizine 2.5 ml at night for 1 month,monteleukast sachet 4mg at night for 2 months and syp. asthakind 2 ml twice daily for 2 weeks.hope it will help.
you can also use some home remedies like a teaspoon of honey in a glass of luke warm water given once daily.
You can also use ivy leaves extract once or twice daily that come with the name of syp. coferb/prospan. It will soothe dry cough.
Wishing your child good health :-)
