Thank you for asking!
Recurrent respiratory infections with wheezing is very common complaint in children. Treatment is right. Add some nebulization to it of ventolin and adrenalin.Seek a paediatrician for further management. Usually it is viral and it is good to stay on the safer road by getting the kid some antibiotics like ceftriaxone IV.
Take care of your kid
