What Does Recurring Coughs And Fever In A Five Year Old Indicate?

Hi, My 5.5 yr kid suffering from frequent cough & fever ( sometimes high sometimes mild) . The infection returns in every 10 days. Doc has suggested Levolin & Budecort inhalers and is suspecting childhood allergy. I am too worried and fed up of his sickness since 3 months. What could be possible root cause? The kid is quite active and feels dull only when he has fever.

Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic. Greetings from Chennai.
By what you quote I feel what your kid could be having viral associated wheeze or multi triggered wheeze. I have a few questions for you -
Questions:
1. How many days per month does she cough or feel breathless?
2. How many nights per month does her sleep get disturbed due to above symptoms?
3. Does she feel breathless when she runs around or plays with other kids?
4. Are the symptoms when there are seasonal changes?
5. Is there any family history of asthma or any other sort of allergies like skin allergy etc.?
6. Is the cough always associated with fever?
