What Causes Frequent Cold Followed By Wheezing In Infant?

My younger son is 11 months old now. Often he s getting cold and it turns out to wheezing soon. My ped prescribed asthalin/ ventorlin for cough and wheezing. Nebuliser was also used. My question is, why he is getting cold often? Blood test is also taken and everything is normal.

Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi, I'am Dr Suresh K Yadav MD (paediatrics), I had gone through your question and understand your concerns,

Your baby seems to be suffering from reactive airway disease or hyperreactivities of airways . I mean in a normal baby this type of illness is limited to cough only , but in babies having hyper reactive airways (body responding more than what is supposed to ) it leads to spasm of airways leading to wheezing. Chances of this be allergic are more if there is family history I'd allergy or asthma. It is also common in babies having respiratory problem at birth. Your babies is not getting cold more , but his cold is becoming complicated more due to wheezing.
