Brief Answer: You can give ivy syrup Detailed Answer: Hi Thanks for writing to health care magic. It'd common for kids at this age to get wheezing after cold episodes. But you need not worry . It's related to cold but usually goes off in a few days. If your kid is active as you had mentioned, with no fever, just ivy syrup or any other bronchodilator syrup can help. Ivy syrup at 2.5 ml twice daily can be given for upto a week. If wheezing doesn't settle then you need to consult your local physician. Wishing your daughter speedy recovery. Regards Dr Arun
