Hello dear!
I can understand your concern.
Please tell me a little more detail regarding family history of asthma and allergy.
i would recommend steam inhalation before going to bed and normal saline nebulizations twice daily.
start monteleukast sachet 4 mg once at night for 3 months and if there are still more secretions you can also nebulize with acetyl cysteine sachet dissolved in 10 ml of normal saline and nebulize with 1 ml of that diluted solution in 2 ml normal saline before going to bed
Hope it will help.
Wishing your child good health :-)
