my 2 yr old DS has been wheezing on and off from quite sometime. He takes medicine for 3-4 days, will be fine and then after couple of weeks it will happen again. This is the third time it has happened this summer. We've been to paed each time and he says its pretty common and normal in kids and specially here. He has not diagnosed it to asthma. There is nothing else apart from wheezing, no cough, no cold, no fever, and he is as active as other times. It seems to be a lot more in the mornings when he gets up than any other part of the day.

we have got our AC cleaned, we have humidifier in his room. we even use standing fan as much as we can rather than AC. What more should we do? any home remedies?

Maybe it is Croup. My DD gets Croup very often ( wheezing sounds) and she has no asthma. Why do not you make an appointment with Dr. Loubser, he is an allergy specialist. <em>edited by Proudmama012 on 22/07/2012</em>

He had prescribed medicine for chest congestion, cold & cough. And nebulization that we do at home. He says its the weather here that makes children so prone to such conditions. He did mention if it happens often it could lead to baby-asthma. I have booked an appointment for tomorrow though.
