Hi,
Wheezing can be recurrent wheezing due to allergy or recurrant infection due to low resistance.
He needs investigations like cbc/allergy screening test/xray chest..as per need , to find basic cause.followed by cause specific management.
Apart from the treatment prescribed..he should avoid the things he is allergic to/avoid exposure to cold, smoke,fumes,dust/avoid eating sour,spicy,oily food&known allergens.
Drink warm water/do warm water gargles&inhale vapor regularly to keep respiratory passages clean./Respiratory exercises in form of Pranayama help.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
