Hi...by what you quote it seems like that your son has got wheezing and moreover he is overweight for his age. In over weight kids it is difficult to control in winter when they get this wheeze. Your doctor is probably right in prescribing him a steroid and wheeze medicine. I suggest you continue it in the prescribed dose and if your kid is becoming breathless or his distress is increasing, then take him to the nearest emergency room.
