Thanks for the quick response.
I am worried, is this a Asthma? Because either the parents or grandparents is not affected with Asthma. And will this be throughout her life. How should we take care of my daughter if we need to eradicate asthma completely from her.
Thanks in advance for your sincere explanation and have a good day ahead.
