Shortness of breath

My child has an allergy. Only during sleep, my child develops breathing difficulty and shortness of breath, which disturbs sleep. We consulted an allergist last Saturday.

After starting the inhalers, my child's breathing at night has improved, but there is still breathing difficulty during the afternoon nap. It has been 4 days since we started the treatment.
