Thanks for your question

Seems like your child has a seasonal asthma, but it could be also be due to many other reasons if recurrent respiratory infections like- congenital cardiac problems

For frequent episodes of asthma, you need to consider optimal steroids and multi drug treatment.

Consider nebulizing your child with 2-3 different solutions after consulting with your doctor and also give steam therapy, honey, salt water gargles, coffee or tea, chocolates as these things have caffeine causing bronchodilation

Hope that answers
