Suggest Remedy For Wheezing And Cough In 6 Months Old

My daughter is almost 6 months old. She got RSV at about 3 months and we have been struggling with a cough and wheezing off and on since then. Is there anything I can do to help her with the wheezing? Her cough is dry and sometimes sounds a little like a seal.

Hello there,
Thanks for writing us,
The symptom of barking cough (seal like cough), without sputum expectorantion most commonly favour towards an viral infection in the age group of your child.
ALTB is the most common underlying conditions in most of the cases.
Supportive care is must for your child.I advise you to visit an nearby physician to confirm the condition and undergo treatment for the safe.
Meanwhile look out for fever, difficulty in breathing which are alarming signs for infection and needs immediate treatment.
Thank you and take care.
