Hello,
It's called reactive airway problem. It is very common nowadays with so many allergens and weather changes around. In general, inhaled are safe. Try to identify allergen in food or the environment.
Lucking childhood problems cease on its own with age as immunity improves by age of 10-12. You can use preventive medicine called Montair LC kid (5 mg) one tablet once daily for three months to prevent repeated attacks.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
