Hi,
Although the details given are insufficient, I will through some highlights. I guess the wheezing was recorded by your doctor also. Recurrent wheezing in children is usually caused by an allergic condition called ASTHAMA. In such cases, after confirming diagnosis with detailed history and examination, I used to give inhaled medications and some oral drugs. Some children with frequent symptoms will need to take the medication regularly for few months. you can discuss this with your doctor in detail, as the diagnosis and management is a step wise process.
Meanwhile take care of few tips:
1. Keep his room clean and dust free
2. Avoid woollen clothes / blankets / bedsheets
3. Avoid playing in dusty / cold environment
4. All window curtains need to be washed and dried once in 2-3 weeks
5. Keep away from smoke and smokers
You have not mentioned his weight. By 1 yea,r we expect about 9 kg. If he is > 8 kgs, you need not worry. Just give him calorie and protein rich diet(include ghee, pulses, curd, egg, well cooked meet in diet).
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
