Hi
If your child has pulmonary wheeze on clinical examination, it seems to be suffering from an allergic episode. A short course of Syrup. Asthalin is fine to go along. In case the wheeze worsens, step up therapy to budecort metered dose inhaler will help him.
Aeroallergens in Indian environment are different from US. So he might be perfectly fine once back home. So don't worry.
