Based on the history, this child needs a clinical examination. The recurrent fever followed by wheezing could simply be a new viral respiratory infection with virus-induced wheeze, but pneumonia and asthma should also be considered.
Next Steps
Seek emergency care if any of the following are present:
Fast or difficult breathing,Chest indrawing, Bluish lips or fingertips, Persistent lethargy or difficult to wake,Continuous wheezing

Consult your paediatrician to see if it is actual wheeze or any chest retractions present and can decide on further management.For now you can use nasoclear drops for blocked nose and continue the same medications for cough and paracetamol syrup if fever is present.

From your description, your child is having recurrent fever, cold, and now wheezing sound during sleep. This is most likely due to a viral respiratory infection with airway hyperreactivity (viral-induced wheeze).
Wheezing means there is narrowing in the airways (lungs-related), which can happen after viral infections in children. It is quite common and not always dangerous, but it needs proper evaluation and treatment.
The recurrence of symptoms after temporary improvement suggests either:
* Incomplete recovery from viral infection
* New viral infection
* Early signs of allergic tendency/asthma-like condition
Next Steps
* Get your child examined by a pediatrician
* Chest auscultation is important to confirm wheeze
* May require:
* Nebulization (salbutamol)
* Anti-allergic medicines
* Blood tests are not routinely required unless advised after examination
* Avoid self-starting antibiotics unless prescribed
Health Tips
* Monitor for danger signs:
* Fast breathing
* Chest retractions
* Difficulty speaking or feeding
* Persistent high fever
* If any of the above are present → visit hospital immediately
* Keep child well hydrated
* Avoid dust, cold exposure, and smoke
