Brief Answer:
Looks like a multi triggered wheeze

Detailed Answer:
HI...By what you quote this looks like a multi triggered wheeze and if I were your kid's treating pediatrician I would like to prescribe -
1. Syrup Levolin 3.5ml thrice a day for 3 days.
2. Syrup Omnacortil 5ml twice a day for 3 days and stop.
3. Syrup Cetrizine 2.5ml once a day for 5 days

I would like to reassess the kid after this treatment and if still the kid is wheezing and feeling breathless I would nebulize him and then start on inhaled corticosteroids.

I wish your kid a speedy recovery. Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome.
