Hi,
Your child's fever,cold,wheezing, cough could be due to upper respiratory infection or allergic rhinitis or bronchitis or pneumonia etc.
You take advise from pediatrician rather than giving him just symptomatic treatment by self medication.
He will require oral antibiotics with antipyretics, antihistamines in syrup formulations.
Now,if he has been diagnosed with asthma already then he would require bronchodilators like beta agonists and anticholinergics in MDI with spacer as child cannot synchronize himself.
In addition, antihistamines and mast cell stabilizers are also have a useful in the treatment of asthma but for all this treatment you must see pediatrician rather than giving him just self treatment.
In Ayurveda and homeopathy, there might be good medicines to get rid off asthma completely but I can't comment on that as I am a allopathy doctor.
