Hi
Welcome to the HCM

I understand your concerns but don't worry. Most likely cause of these symptoms are allergic tendency or viral infections. Most infants outgrow them as they grow. They need just symptomatic management for breathing problems when present. So, continue with minimal dose of nebulization and avoid overtreatment. Levosalbutamol and hypertonic saline nebulisations are good. Also use antihistamine such as Chlorpheniramine for symptomatic relief.

Ensure 2-3 bowls of complementary feeds along with milk formulas. You may give all fruits in puried form.Try all your staple foods in proper grinded or semisolid form.
Hopefully it will be of help.
Take care
