Hello,
It is quite normal to have breathing problems in a child of this age. This is because he may have increased size of adenoids, due to inflammation related to the strep infection. For this reason, I would recommend trying inhalation (aerosols) with steroids besides antibiotics or an anti-histamine for allergic reaction.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
