Hello, I understand your concern It’s common for toddlers (especially after starting playschool) to have 6–8 episodes of cold and cough per year, especially in the first 1–2 years of social exposure. Each episode may last 10–14 days, and recovery followed by re-infection is expected, especially with climate changes and exposure to peers. Common causes include: Viral respiratory infections (most common in this age group) Allergic tendencies or early childhood asthma (especially if wheezing or family history is present) Post-viral airway hyperreactivity Environmental triggers (pollution, dust, weather, school exposure) Immune immaturity (still developing in this age group) Weight is 13 kg, which is appropriate for age (suggests nutrition and growth are fine). No mention of hospitalization, poor weight gain, or severe distress — mild to moderate infections are more likely.

Younger children have smaller airways than older ones. As the child grows, airways too grow and the wheezing typically slowly reduces and they grow out of the condition Now, the wheezing can be secondary of benign viral infections or due to allergies. Bangalore weather can be highly allergenic because of the heavy flora as well as perennial rainfall. You are right about the school infections - they are a cause of repeat precipitation of wheezing. You can take the following measures: Vaccinate for influenza Use air purifier- a good one with hepa filter- in his bedroom. It will significantly reduce his allergen load Test for food and environmental allergies and try to look for potential causes Stick to a good paediatrician. Discuss if a 6 monthly course of monteleukast will be helpful He should finish dinner early - at least 2 hours before sleep. Reflux is common in such children and aggravates the condition Avoid Ayurvedic medicine for children - we are concerned about heavy metals in them and unknown side effects
