Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic. It could be a multi triggered wheeze or viral episodic wheeze. In bot cases antibiotics are not going to help. Montair LC kid is a good option for viral episodic wheeze but it might not work for multi triggered wheeze. I have few question -
1. How many days and nights did he suffer like this in past 60 days.
2. Is there any family history of allergy or wheezing or asthma?
3. Are you residing in an environment which is dusty ? Please get back with queries for me to suggest a good alternative management plan. Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
